The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Thar Energy LLC (Thar) to design, fabricate, assemble, and test an industrial high temperature heat pump (iHTHP) to replace gas-fired steam boilers. The iHTHP would utilize natural carbon dioxide as a refrigerant and would require the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) to be used in its high temperature compressor.
