Yes...and they gave it a 24 month time estimate. Hopefully, yesterdays SCOTUS ruling may help speed up many of these projects in the US? Not quite time to jump up and down yelling Wheeeeee yet IMO

Improvement of Alstom’s Limestone Chemical Looping Combustion Process for Higher Purity Flue Gas Production

Alstom Power Inc. (Windsor, CT) is developing a limestone-based chemical looping combustion (LCL-C™) process for generating electricity that will achieve near-zero emissions, include CO2 capture, and reduce the cost of electricity. Alstom will team with the University of North Dakota and Envergex, LLC to conduct parametric bench-scale tests, data analysis, and facility modification and operation. Great River Energy will provide industrial input in designing and operating a coal-fired LCL-C system. Successful execution of the 24-month project will address the critical technology gap of flue gas purity and show that the LCL-C process can be scaled to a demonstration scale.

Cost: DOE: $1,998,940/ Non DOE: $499,735/ Total Funding: $2,498,675 (Cost share: 20%)
