Study Shows Material Fuel and Electricity
Savings
TULSA,
Okla., Oct. 2, 2024 /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 the Ultra low NOx Burner Testing study has been
completed by the California Gas Emerging Technologies (GET) Program
and that the final report prepared by ICF has been released to the
public.
The objective of the study sponsored by Southern California Gas
Company ("SoCalGas") was to test and quantify the emissions
improvements and efficiency gains for the ClearSign Core™-Rogue
ultra-low NOx boiler burner compared to a conventional (or
baseline) ultra-low-NOx burner operating in the same boiler.
Specifically, the report concluded that the ClearSign
ultra-low NOx burner demonstrates both material fuel and
electricity savings while producing ultra low NOx levels and was
capable of NOx levels lower than the baseline burner.
The GET Program is a collaboration between California's investor owned utilities to
advance promising energy-efficient technologies. The program aims
to identify and evaluate currently commercially available
technologies and further market readiness of promising
concepts. The GET Program is funded by California utility customers, administered by
SoCalGas and supported by the state's other investor-owned
utilities, SoCalGas®, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E®),
and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E®) under the auspices
of the California Public Utilities Commission through a contract
awarded to ICF, a global consulting and technology services
provider.
"We were grateful for the sponsorship of the California GET
Program and ICF who funded and managed this study to evaluate the
relative operational efficiency and fuel consumption enabled by the
latest low emission burner technology," said Jim Deller,
Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ClearSign. "Reduced fuel
consumption translates directly into operational cost savings and
reduced carbon dioxide emissions for our customers. The third-party
verified data documented in this report translates into
approximately $80k per year savings
in California energy costs for a
mid-size 500hp boiler compared to a comparable industry standard
burner technology, in addition to reducing over 500 tons of
CO2 emissions per year. We believe this data
presents a compelling proposition for our technologies,"
concluded Dr. Deller.
Summary
The California GET Program report states that the
ClearSign-Rogue burner demonstrated higher boiler operating
efficiency, fuel savings, as well as electricity savings not only
at the same Ultra Low NOx levels as the baseline mesh burner but
also when operating at lower NOx levels below 2.5 ppm NOx. The
ClearSign-Rogue burner was more energy efficient as it operated at
the lowest excess air or O2 levels. The fuel savings
ranged from 3.3% when the ClearSign-Rogue burner was operating at
sub-2.5 ppm NOx to 4.7% at sub-9 ppm NOx at high fire. Savings in
electricity ranged from 7% at sub-2.5 ppm NOx to 25% at sub-9 ppm
NOx compared to the baseline mesh burner.
