TULSA,
Okla., Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign
Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR) ("ClearSign" or the
"Company"), an emerging leader in industrial combustion and sensing
technologies that support
decarbonization, improve operational and energy
efficiency, enable the use of hydrogen as a fuel and enhance safety
while dramatically reducing emissions, announces that, in
collaboration with a major national laboratory, it has been awarded
a $400,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Energy's ("DOE") Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy ("EERE") Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office
("IEDO"). The funding will support the development of ClearSign's
ultra-low NOx industrial hydrogen burner technology to advance the
decarbonization of high-temperature industrial processes.
"This project, led by ClearSign's Senior Research Scientist Dr.
Robert Geiger, is being undertaken
to develop innovative computer modeling techniques to enable the
optimization of industrial furnaces and combustion equipment for
use with 100% hydrogen fuel," said Jim
Deller, Ph.D., Chief Executive Office of ClearSign. "The
intended function of the computational code and techniques
developed in this study is to enable the efficient and rapid
assessment of how variations in the design of burner components
affect flame characteristics with high hydrogen content fuels in
high-temperature environments. We anticipate that this will aid and
accelerate the development of new burner technologies to meet
future industrial needs. The ultimate goal of this project is to
provide cost-effective, high-performance solutions for
energy-intensive industries seeking to lower their carbon
footprint."
The project will utilize high-performance computing ("HPC") to
simulate and optimize the design of hydrogen burners, which is
expected to aid and accelerate the development timelines of new
burner technologies while minimizing overall costs. By addressing
key challenges such as flame positioning, fuel-air mixing, and heat
flux optimization, the project aims to facilitate the large-scale
adoption of hydrogen in industrial furnaces. This innovative
computer modeling technique is projected to support decarbonization
efforts across industries by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by
up to 276 million metric tons annually.
