UK To Research Carbon Removal
KENTUCKY...
The University of Kentucky has won a $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to research cheaper ways to remove carbon dioxide from the gas released by coal-fired power plants. The energy department says the research project could change the way the United States uses and produces energy. A UK researcher says the project is aimed at making coal-fired power plants more environmentally friendly by developing cheaper, simpler methods to separate carbon dioxide from flue gas.
