DOE Funds NRG Energy for Carbon Capture
NRG Energy has been selected by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive up to $154 million to build a post-combustion carbon capture demonstration unit at NRG’s WA Parish plant southwest of Houston.
The proposed project was submitted under the Clean Coal Power Initiative Program (CCPI), a cost-shared collaboration between the federal government and private industry to demonstrate low-emission carbon capture and storage technologies in advanced coal-based, power generation.
The goal of CCPI is to accelerate the readiness of advanced coal technologies for commercial deployment, ensuring that the United States has clean, reliable, and affordable electricity and power.

Carbon capture technology is part of NRG’s clean energy portfolio that includes nuclear, onshore wind, offshore wind and solar that will help the Company meet future energy production and environmental sustainability goals.
The project will show that post-combustion carbon capture applied to existing plants can be done economically, especially when the plant has the opportunity to sequester carbon dioxide in nearby oilfields.
Advancing carbon capture and storage technology will create new jobs in America and reduce carbon pollution output. It’s another example of the country’s innovation at work.
NRG is also involved in wind power and solar development. Check out this website http://bit.ly/djb5bI
