Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) has signed a global licensing agreement that grants Zero Emission Energy Plants, (ZEEP) the right to construct and operate gasification plants throughout the world using PWR's compact gasification technology. The widespread use and availability of PWR's technology could decrease energy costs, enhance energy security, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Under this agreement, ZEEP will work closely with PWR to develop and operate gasification plants around the world, including a future commercial-scale demonstration plant. ZEEP is currently evaluating sites in China, Canada, the United States and Australia for that plant.
