ADA-ES Inc (NASDAQ:ADES), a company which develops and commercialises solutions for reducing emissions and meeting environmental standards, said on 4 October that it has signed a project contract with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop clean coal technology that will capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants.
The company has been hired as a prime contractor for a USD3.2m project with the DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory. The programme is co-funded by power generators including AEP, Southern Company, Luminant, Xcel Energy and the Electric Power Research Institute. A Technology provided by ADA-ES will reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from existing coal-fired boilers. The existing 1,100 power plants generate 320 GWs of electricity and represent the single largest US man-made source of carbon dioxide. A The project will advance carbon capture technology based around regenerable solid sorbents and equipment. Solid sorbents offer potential advantages over competing technologies including lower costs and less parasitic energy.
