Novozymes' carbon capture project to get US Department of Energy funding

摘要

The US Department of Energy (DoE) has selected Novozymes' carbon capture project as one of 16 technologies chosen for research funding. Novozymes, together with Doosan Power Systems, University of Kentucky, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will carry out the three-year project with total budget for all parties of approximately US$2-mn, of which DoE will fund 80%. The overall DoE funding objectives are to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of advanced carbon-capture systems at coal-fired power plants, thereby moving capture technologies closer to widespread use.
