The innovative Project Enterprise is a carbon capture demonstration pilot that will advance technology designed to create a cleaner, more sustainable energy production system. The demonstration pilot, manufactured in the U.S. and constructed using union labor, will test ION Clean Energy’s transformational carbon dioxide capture technology adjacent to Los Medanos Energy Center and is a significant step towards achieving the state’s net-zero greenhouse gas emission goals by 2045.
Over the next 18 months, the program will test and monitor emissions and track operational requirements to scale ION’s ICE-31 solvent technology.
Project Enterprise will utilize solvent-based technology developed and designed by U.S.-based ION Clean Energy. The success of the demonstration would validate the technology for commercial scale deployment in California and demonstrate it as a viable location for further Department of Energy funding to build and operate a commercial scale carbon capture project.
