ION Clean Energy Inc. (ION) is empirically validating the low capital and operating costs for ION’s transformational solvent with revolutionary stability technology (ICE-31) on a 1-megawatt-electric (MWe) slipstream of flue gas from Calpine’s Los Medanos Energy Center (LMEC), a commercially dispatched natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant. To accomplish this, the project team is designing, constructing, and operating an engineering-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture pilot that will capture 10 tonnes per day (tpd) of CO2.
