Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Field deployment of scalable solutions for emission reduction and performance enhancement of integral reciprocating compressors.
The objectives of this agreement are to collaborate (recipient and its partners) on the field deployment, full-scale validation, and commercialization of a low-cost emissions reduction retrofit kit for integral reciprocating compressors (IRCs) with an expected outcome to provide the natural gas industry with a transformative solution that not only enhances environmental sustainability by minimizing emissions but also drives potential operational cost savings and efficiency improvements.
