Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Fuel agnostic linear generator repurposes flare gas in oil fields to generate near zero emission electricity.
The objective of this project is to definitively demonstrate the real-world capabilities of Hyliion's Karno generator technology within the oil and gas production environment.
Here's a breakdown of the specific goals:
1) Demonstrate near-zero methane emissions,
2) Verify electricity generation efficiency,
3) Validate system integration and performance,
and
4) Improve communities: drive economic growth, job creation, and improved air quality where it matters the most.
