Cockrell School
Dr. Gary Rochelle, Chemical Engineering Professor, researches carbon dioxide capturing
Chemical Engineering Professor Gary Rochelle at The University of Texas at Austin has received a $1.8 million, six-year grant from TXU Power to improve Rochelle's existing process for capturing carbon dioxide. The goal is to make the process use at least 10 percent less energy. An expert on reducing industrial emissions, Dr. Gary Rochelle will draw upon two decades of experience developing and testing similar technology to remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from natural gas.
