The investments in eight projects, part of the US government’s $5bn investment in clean coal technologies, will be supplemented by recipient cost-share to support the approximate $9.4m cumulative project cost.
These projects aim to achieve 90% carbon dioxide removal while delivering carbon dioxide at a capture cost of less than $25 per ton.
Commenting on the investments US Energy Secretary Steven Chu said, "These projects will build on the important progress made by this Administration in promoting innovative technologies that help make coal-fired energy cleaner and more cost-competitive."
