Check out the latest edition of the Carbon Capture Newsletter to learn about recent developments in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NETL Carbon Capture Program. 

The DOE/NETL Carbon Capture Program is developing the next generation of advanced carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture technologies that can provide step-change reductions in both cost and energy requirements as compared to currently available technologies.

The Carbon Capture Program focuses on the broad portfolio of projects, including post- and pre-combustion capture to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation and industrial sources. The Program is also developing a wide array of approaches to remove CO₂ that has accumulated in the atmosphere, such as direct air capture with durable storage, biomass carbon removal and storage, and enhanced mineralization.

Information in this month’s edition includes:

• An announcement that DOE is seeking information on deployment-ready carbon reduction and removal technologies. The Request for Information seeks feedback on direct air capture, point source carbon capture, geologic storage and more.
• An interagency update on carbon management initiatives discussed at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Another update focuses on a plan to fund efforts by four national public power associations to help increase regional and state-level engagement in DOE’s emerging carbon management work.
• Business and industry updates highlighting work by Southern California Gas to develop technology to capture CO₂ from the air while simultaneously collecting water. An additional update explores an NETL partnership with the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center to determine the feasibility for the first commercial-scale direct air capture (DAC) and storage system (DAC+S) for CO₂ removal in the U.S. 
• Links to recently published journal articles and announcements about upcoming U.S. and international events that will focus on various carbon capture issues and technologies.
