WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced it is re-opening a funding opportunity to make up to $500 million available for projects that will help expand carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation infrastructure across the United States. Accelerating the development and deployment of carbon management technology to capture CO2 emissions from industrial operations and power generation, as well as directly from the atmosphere, requires a safe and reliable system that can transport the captured CO2, either for permanent geologic storage or for conversion to useful, durable products. These efforts will reduce CO2 emissions, provide new job opportunities, and enhance our Nation’s energy security.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced $6 million for one selected project to explore the transport of carbon dioxide (CO2) from onshore industrial and power generation facilities to offshore secure geologic storage in Texas state waters. In addition, DOE announced it will make up to $48M available under the fourth opening of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding opportunity to support regional CO2 transport networks that connect sources of CO2 to locations for geologic storage or conversion to value-added products. Expanding commercial CO2 transport and storage supports the development of a large-scale carbon management industry to reduce emissions, provide new job opportunities, and enhance our energy security.
NETL’s new CO2-Locate web application, now available on NETL’s EDX®, offers decision makers access to a wide swath of information needed to help create a net-zero carbon emissions power sector.
The application is one of several new, innovative tools developed with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced more than $518 million to support 23 selected projects across 19 states that will fight climate change by developing the infrastructure needed for national decarbonization. The projects, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will provide for the development and validation of commercial large-scale carbon storage infrastructure to significantly and responsibly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial operations and power plants, as well as from legacy emissions in the atmosphere, while supporting good jobs and environmental priorities in local communities. DOE is also seeking information from stakeholders on carbon storage infrastructure needs prior to opening the next round of this funding opportunity.
NETL is announcing that the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) anticipates soliciting applications for additional projects similar to those solicited under DE-FOA-0002730. These projects would receive funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to conduct front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies that support and accelerate the planning for carbon dioxide (CO2) transport from anthropogenic sources to CO2 conversion or secure geologic storage locations. Carbon capture sources may include a combination of CO2 removal (e.g., direct air capture and biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS)), and point sources (e.g., industrial and power generation). All modes of CO2 transport (pipeline, truck, rail, barge, and ship), including any combination of transport modes, may be considered. If a solicitation is issued, it could be a reissuance of funding opportunity announcement (FOA), DE-FOA-0002730, or a new solicitation.
The Carbon Storage Planning Inquiry Tool, or PlanIT, is now available on NETL’s Energy Data eXchange®, providing easy access to explore, query and evaluate thousands of relevant data features and attributes from 14 authoritative sources in one place, to support and accelerate carbon storage feasibility assessments and planning efforts.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced the selection of nine university and industry-led projects to receive $44.5 million in federal funding to advance commercial-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage across the United States. These regional partnership projects will accelerate the understanding of specific geologic basins to enable the permanent storage of carbon dioxide emissions from industrial operations and power plants, as well as from legacy emissions in the atmosphere. The partnerships will provide technical, informational, and educational assistance to stakeholders involved in DOE and private sector-based carbon transport and storage projects located throughout the country, as well as to communities where these projects are located. These efforts support the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to ensuring that all carbon management projects continue to be designed, built, and operated safely and responsibly, and in a way that reflects the best science and commercial practice and responds to the needs and inputs of local communities.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), led by DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, announces the release of detailed report that presents key guidelines for measuring methane emissions from marginally producing oil and natural gas wells. The guidelines were developed to assist the 14 states awarded funding under Funding Opportunity DE-FOA-0003109.This report was made possible through a partnership between NETL and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
NETL has released version five of a user-friendly, sophisticated database that can be used to estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) storage potential of underground geological environments, helping stakeholders make more informed decisions that could improve the efficiency, safety and long-term stability of CO2 storage operations.
WASHINGTON, D.C.— The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced it will make up to $24 million available to support the transport of carbon dioxide (CO2) to locations for permanent geologic storage or conversion to useful products. The CO2—captured from industrial and power generation facilities, as well as from legacy carbon dioxide emissions captured directly from the atmosphere—may be transported by any mode of transport such as pipelines, rail, trucks, barges, or ships, including any combination of transport modes. Made possible through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, this effort supports the development of a large-scale carbon storage industry key to achieving the Administration’s ambitious climate goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
