Sentences with phrase «testing carbon capture technology»

«The reality of any technology development, particularly in the energy space, is it's very difficult to move technologies into the marketplace without some sort of push,» said Walker Dimmig, spokesperson for NET Power, a company now testing carbon capture technology at its natural gas plant in Texas.

Not exact matches

Among the 25 projects authorized by the federal Department of Energy, First Energy plans to install a new carbon capture technology on its R. E. Burger power plant in Ohio and then partner with engineering firm Battelle to test pumping it 7,000 feet beneath the surface.

One of the technologies the scenarios took as necessary was rapid global adoption of systems that capture and store carbon dioxide from power plants — none of which have been tested at anything remotely close to a scale the atmosphere would notice.

The Breakthrough team warns that while deployment of today's technologies is vital, if money for deployment is included in the $ 150 - billion pie, that dangerously reduces the amount of money for laboratories pursuing vital advances on photovoltaics or energy storage and for big tests of technologies that must be demonstrated at large scale — like capturing carbon dioxide from power plants.

Besides, he said, the technology is not being developed as an alternative to the carbon capture and storage methods currently being tested for large - scale use on coal - fired power stations.

In December 2014 and January 2015, CO2 Solutions conducted an extended series of tests of its technology using EERC's state - of - the - art carbon capture test system.

While there is a lot of skepticism over so - called «clean coal» technologies, which look to capture and store carbon emissions, a major government and industry initiative is about to take a small step closer to testing some of that controversial and cutting - edge technology.

We don't currently focus on technologies to capture carbon emissions from the likes of power stations, as carbon capture is undergoing major R&D investment and testing to prove its economics and show that it is environmentally safe.

What's more, there seems to be renewed interest in Federally - funded carbon capture demonstrations in the US, as evidenced in part by this latest Request for Information from the Department of Energy (DOE) titled: «Testing advanced post-combustion carbon dioxide capture technologies at a large pilot scale.»

But the failure to start building, testing, tweaking and perfecting carbon capture and storage means that developing the technology may come too late to make coal compatible with limiting global warming.
