"Not all projects focused on renewable energy, though. Two listed in the document, one for $300 million to Colorado State University and another for $210 million to the Gas Technology Institute, would have helped oil and gas producers large and small reduce methane emissions from their wells. The Gas Technology Institute is a research and development organization that mostly caters to the natural gas industry. The group had a dozen awards canceled, according to the document, totaling $417 million."
"Carbon capture and removal also took a hit, with 10 of the 21 projects canceled totaling around $200 million. Many are in Harris-voting states, though that rubric doesn't explain the entire picture. "Three categories are popping up," Erin Burns, executive director at Carbon180, told TechCrunch. "Where are they located? Who are the partners in it? Were these projects going to move forward?""
The Department of Energy canceled nearly $8 billion in awards and is seeking to undo 321 contracts. The cancellations included projects beyond renewables, such as methane-emission reduction programs: a $300 million award to Colorado State University and a $210 million award to the Gas Technology Institute. The Gas Technology Institute lost a dozen awards totaling $417 million. Carbon capture and removal projects were also affected, with 10 of 21 projects canceled totaling about $200 million. Cancellations were concentrated in states that voted for Kamala Harris, with California losing at least $2.2 billion and several other states losing hundreds of millions.
