Nestle Purina in Dunkirk will receive $5 million to partner with the Babcock & Wilcox Company to install OxyBright, an oxy-combustion technology that replaces combustion air with a mixture of pure oxygen and recycled flue gas. This results in a gas exhaust stream that is mostly pure CO2 and significantly reduces co-pollutants. The higher concentration of CO2 allows for carbon capture, utilization and/or storage (CCUS), a critical technology for industrial sector decarbonization.
