Hyliion has been awarded a $6m grant from a US Department of Energy (DOE) programme to support a project aimed at reducing methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.

The grant will facilitate the installation of up to 2MW of Karno generators, which have the capability to produce sustainable, near-zero emissions electricity from well-head gas.

The total project funding amounts to $8.4m, combining federal and non-federal investments.

Hyliion’s Karno generators will be installed in collaboration with oil and gas partners to demonstrate their unique ability to operate on unprocessed gas.

The funding is part of an extensive $850m methane emissions reduction programme led by the US DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The programme aims to support projects that enhance the monitoring, measurement, and mitigation of methane emissions within the oil and gas industry.

The grant will enable Hyliion to deploy its Karno generators, promoting sustainable energy generation and contributing to economic growth and job creation in local communities.

Hyliion founder and CEO Thomas Healy said: “The Karno generator is redefining what’s possible in sustainable energy production by turning waste gas that would normally be flared into valuable power.

“This funding opportunity allows us to demonstrate the potential of our innovative technology in providing meaningful solutions to combat methane emissions in the oil and gas industry.”

The Karno generator is a linear generation system that uses heat and is enhanced by 3D metal printing.

Last year, the company successfully tested gas from the Permian Basin, proving the generator’s fuel-agnostic design.

Its robust, hermetically sealed design allows for extended maintenance-free operation, especially in challenging environments such as oil fields. The generator’s versatility to run on over 20 fuel types makes it a flexible and environmentally friendly solution.

The grant’s finalisation is subject to the completion of negotiations and the execution of a definitive agreement with the US DOE.
