HTC Announces CO 2 commercial contract.

HTC Purenergy today announced the signing of a commercial agreement with a United States CO 2 emitter and industrial products producer. The contract will utilize HTC’s proprietary Kinetic Boss- process integration modeling and PSR solvents to improve CO 2 capture efficiency. Jeff Allison – Chief Financial Officer of HTC stated “Industrial CO 2 emitters are recognizing HTC’s leadership role as a solution to their CO 2 capture needs. In addition to commercializing with large scale coal fired power plant CO 2 emitters, HTC is accelerating its CO 2 capture commercialization with small and mid-sized industrial CO 2 emitters. Many industrial CO 2 emitters that are located in areas where enhanced oil recovery is utilized will require HTC’s CO 2 capture technology to provide CO 2 to these new oil field markets.”

HTC has responded to this increased commercial demand by adding three additional members to their CO 2 capture commercial engineering staff
