ROTA-CAP technology could provide a major reduction in both capex and equipment size, enabling wider-scale commercial deployment of carbon capture systems globally." The US Department of Energy ’s Office of Fossil Energy awarded funding to the Gas Technology Institute ( GTI ) and Carbon CCS - US — Carbon Clean Solutions ’ ) subsidiary — to trial a carbon - capture prototype . Called Carbon - CAP , the company will receive $ 2.9 m for the 30-month project . The technology aims to harness rotating - column 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 CCS - US will build and conduct initial tests in Illinois before heading to Alabama for longer - term testing .
