AdvR of Bozeman and IntelliMet of Missoula have received a grant of $70,000 each from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

AdvR http://www.advr-inc.com/ is developing a technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuel power plants through carbon sequestration. To ensure CO2 sequestration, the ability to monitor leakage from underground geologic storage sites and pipelines delivering CO2 to those sites is paramount.

The goal of this grant is to accelerate the development of a low-cost, fiber-based sensor system for the detection of low levels of CO2 in the subsurface.

The objective of IntelliMet’s project is to develop an absorption technology that enables CO2 capture for less than $20 per ton of CO2. The potential commercial application will be to create carbon capture units that enable the economically feasible reduction of CO2.

The grant is part of $2.38m that will be awarded to 34 small businesses across the nation to develop technologies to help improve air quality, protect water, work to decrease the effects of climate change, and support green jobs.
