Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies.

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. The energy savings come from not having to heat the substance to high temperatures.

CTV is developing proprietary technology and catalysts for the conversion of lignin into hydrocarbon components for transportation fuels. The presence of carbon monoxide in the syngas can assist with the conversion of lignin, and the observed effect is similar to that seen for coal hydroprocessing with syngas compared to hydrogen alone.

Pyrolysis bio-oils are produced by the thermal decomposition of biomass by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C; fast pyrolysis of biomass is much less expensive than biomass conversion technologies based on gasification or fermentation processes. The gasoline-range alcohols can be high-octane gasoline additives.
