DOE to award Thar Energy $9.4M to help advance more efficient supercritical-CO2-based power cycles

Green Car Congress

The selected project is designed to apply focused research and development to produce scalable, cost-effective recuperator technologies suitable for future deployment in large-scale SCO 2 power cycle applications. These recuperators help increase the overall efficiency of the cycle by limiting heat rejection from the cycle. Source: DOE.
