https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211222005042/en/In support of the United States’ emissions reduction plans announced at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), ARPA-E announced 12 funding awards totaling $35 million to develop and demonstrate technologies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the oil, gas, and coal sectors. INNIO Waukesha received funding for its proposed project that is focused on developing a new line of pistons.
“At INNIO, our research and development teams are intently focused on identifying, demonstrating, and delivering viable innovations that will help shape the energy transition. We believe a critical path to a cleaner energy future is providing carbon reducing enhancements for installed assets that will lead to an extended life and investment security,” said Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO. “We are pleased that ARPA-E has recognized that our carbon reduction research may yield an impactful carbon reduction approach for both new and installed engines everywhere.”
"As a global supplier of energy services, INNIO Waukesha is constantly searching for new and innovative solutions to reduce emission levels and reduce carbon footprints to support our customers and their communities,” said Bud Hittie, president of INNIO Waukesha. “We look forward to aggressively moving forward with our engine research and development to continue delivering technology for a cleaner energy future.”
INNIO Waukesha’s REMEDY funding will be spread across two stages of the program over three years. Stage 1 is planned to focus on lab-based tests confirming the operability of technical proposals, approaches, and system component. Stage 2 will expand the scale of testing, and ideally include field tests. The new technology aims to meet the REMEDY goal of 99.5% Methane destruction.
