The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded
funding for two research projects from the Georgia Institute of Technology that
focus on developing advanced post-combustion technologies for capturing carbon
dioxide from coal-fired power plants.
The Georgia Tech awards represent two out of 16
announced by the agency on Aug. 25. In total, the DOE pledged to award more
than $41 million over three years to organizations across the U.S. for projects
focused on reducing the energy and cost penalties associated with current
carbon-capture technologies.
