Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
Industrial Carbon Capture from an Existing Hot Briquetted Iron Manufacturing Facility using the CryoCap FG Technology.

The overall objective of the project is to execute and complete front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies for a commercial-scale, carbon capture project. This project aims to separate 95% of the total CO2 emissions at a Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant. The plant currently emits approximately 1 million tonnes CO2/yr.
