The University of Kentucky has received $2.4 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory to develop a cost-effective system that will capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce hydrogen at natural gas combined cycle power plants.

How Kentucky’s utilities are empowering a sustainable energy future

In the mid-2000s, it had become abundantly clear that capturing carbon dioxide was the engineering challenge of our time. Researchers at the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research responded with an industrial-governmental-academic consortium that has led to changes in global industrial processes, numerous patents and publications, and scientific breakthroughs that are changing Kentucky’s and the world’s economy.
