The project will validate a transformational solid sorbent carbon capture technology at engineering scale under indicative natural gas flue gas conditions and continuous long-term operation at Chevron’s Kern River oil field.

One of the goals it to successfully complete the design, construction, commissioning, and longterm testing of an engineering scale plant of approximately 25 tonnes per day (TPD) under steady-state conditions at varying flue gas carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations (~4–14%).

A second goal is to conduct a techno-economic analysis (TEA) on the VeloxoTherm™ technology as integrated into a nominal 550 MW (net) natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant
