The US Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy awarded funding to the Gas Technology Institute ( GTI ) and ROTA-CAP — the Gas Technology Institute Alabama subsidiary—to trial a carbon-capture prototype. Third-generation technologies, targeted for demonstration between 2030 and 2035, should have a cost of US$30/t or less. Called Carbon CCS-US , the groups will receive $2.9m for the 30-month project. The technology aims to harness rotating packed bed absorbers and regenerators, whereas most carbon capture offerings utilise stationary columns. The technology could lead to greater process efficiency via reduced sizing requirements of various parts that would mean cheaper costs. GTI and Carbon Clean Solutions’ will build and conduct initial tests in Illinois before heading to Alabama for longer-term testing.
