13 November 2006 -- ADA-ES, Inc. announced that it will be collaborating on a project with RTI International (trade name Research Triangle Institute) to develop and demonstrate a process to capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants. RTI is the prime contractor on this $4 million cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE NETL). In addition to this award, DOE NETL manages and provides technical guidance to a number of projects focused on carbon sequestration.
RTI is a non-profit research organization based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, US, and is engaged in many scientific research and technology development areas. This sorbent-based technology fits well with the ADA-ES business model of providing emission control technology that involves the continuous use of a regenerable material that can be applied to existing power plants.
The project is expected to start in the next few months and last for three years. ADA-ES will provide engineering services related to the sorbent injection system and assess the future commercial potential of the technology.
Dr. Michael Durham, President of ADA-ES, commented, "We are very pleased that RTI has chosen ADA-ES to help advance the development and commercialization of this exciting technology. We are enthusiastic about becoming involved in this greenhouse gas mitigation project, which represents a new area in emission control for ADA-ES. We believe the corresponding potential marketplace is substantial, and continue to be optimistic about ADA-ES' opportunities related to cleaner energy."
