BOULDER, Colo. — A Boulder-based startup is using a University of Colorado technology designed to capture carbon dioxide and other contaminants from power plant emissions, university officials announced Monday.
CU licensed the technology to ION Engineering LLC, which last year received a $100,000 Proof-of-Concept Investment from the university’s Technology Transfer Office and the CU-Boulder Energy Initiative. Two of ION’s four founders are researchers at CU and were involved with the development of the technology.
Along with establishing partnerships to demonstrate the technology, ION currently is working on optimizing its ionic liquid solvents to some gas compositions and for greater-scale lab and field tests, officials said in a news release.
