Nutrien AirCapture Plant

AirCapture and OCOchem and the fertilizer maker Nutrien have received a $2.9 million grant from the US Department of Energy to set up a carbon-dioxide-capture system at Nutrien�s plant in Kennewick, Washington. AirCapture has technology to capture CO2 from air using industrial waste heat�in this case steam from nitrogen fertilizer production. OCOchem will use the captured gas in its process to combine water and CO2 into formic acid, an industrial chemical and potential fuel.
