Air Products and DOE Sign Agreement for Carbon Capture and Storage Project in Texas

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Air Products announced today it has signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and will now move forward on phase one of a potential two phase program to conduct an engineering study and project plan to capture, concentrate and purify carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from industrial operations for use in enhanced oil recovery work. DOE in October had announced several carbon capture related proposals to receive initial funding from the $1.4 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Air Products’ engineering study and plan will be among several to be evaluated in 2010 by DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory for potential additional funding of the overall project.
