Overview
Grant Description
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Daphne and Williams Methane Slip Abatement Plasma-Catalyst Scale-Up
The objective of the Daphne and Williams plasma-catalyst slip abatement scale up (the “Project”) is to permanently install a novel exhaust gas cleaning system (“SLIPPURE”) that abates methane (CH4) pollution in exhaust gas emitted from natural gas-fueled engines.
The team aims to dramatically accelerate the adoption of SLIPPURE and lower global CH4 emissions.
