description: "Net Power reported a widened Q2 net loss of $80.29 million, up from $28.14 million prior year, driven by a $193.71 million impairment charge that also expanded the operating loss to $209.94 million. R&D and project development expenses dropped significantly as oxy-combustion work wound down. The company shifted strategy toward phased natural-gas generation at Project Permian without carbon capture initially, lacking binding offtake agreements or final investment decisions. Total liquidity stood at $308.37 million."
