The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program, awarded a $9,622,050 cooperative agreement to Membrane Technology And Research, Inc. (MTR) to design, build, and test an engineering-scale membrane hybrid carbon capture system at a cement plant. The key objectives are to: 1) Design and construct the membrane capture system for deployment at the cement plant, 2) Complete a 6-month field test to demonstrate the system's ability to efficiently capture over 95% of the plant's carbon dioxide emissions, 3) Implement a community benefits plan to quantify the positive local impacts, and 4) Prepare a techno-economic analysis, environmental assessment, and technology maturation plan for the membrane capture process. This project aims to advance the commercialization of innovative membrane-based carbon capture technologies for use in industrial settings.
