DOE selects 16 projects for funding to develop post-combustion carbon capture technologies

Green Car Congress

Projections based on detailed engineering evaluations show that the technology can reduce the power consumption for CO 2 capture by more than 40%, and the capital cost for the CO 2 capture equipment by more than 60% at commercial scale, resulting in a more than 40% reduction in the CO 2 capture cost compared to alternate technologies such as amines.
