TULSA, Okla., May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR) ("ClearSign" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in industrial combustion and sensing technologies that improve energy, operational efficiency and safety while dramatically reducing emissions, announces that the Company was awarded a government grant through the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program with the Department of Energy.

Key Points: 
  • The goal of this project is to develop ultra-low NOx hydrogen burner technology which will enable the adoption of hydrogen fuel for industrial heating, leading to reductions in the industrial emissions of both carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
  • Current burners and previous efforts to decarbonize industrial combustion processes through the utilization of hydrogen fuel are inhibited by the lack of industrial hydrogen burners capable of burning pure hydrogen while preventing additional Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions.
  • "We have previously demonstrated our current ClearSign Core burner technology operating at full scale with over 80% hydrogen content in the fuel gas, and are confident in our ability to provide low emissions burner technology to meet the needs of the developing hydrogen fueled industrial burner applications," continued Dr. Deller.
  • The initial funding amount is approximately $250,000 and the project will last six months starting at the end of June.
