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.
