The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,818,805 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program to Blue Mountain Operations, LLC, located in Rock Springs, WY. The goal of this 6-month project is to eliminate primary and secondary methane emissions from natural gas-driven pneumatic devices in remote oil and gas production facilities without access to grid power. The project aims to achieve this by scaling the deployment of solar-powered compressors as a methane-free pneumatic solution. This funding supports research, development, and demonstration activities to advance this innovative technology and help reduce the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel operations.
