What the grant funds

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in collaboration with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) for integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects that demonstrate substantial improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness, cost, and environmental performance of carbon capture technologies for power, industrial, and other commercial applications. OCED’s mission is to deliver clean energy technology demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonized energy system. Awards made under this FOA will be funded with funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).While the technologies needed to decarbonize most of the U.S. economy exist, further innovation will create transformational pathways for meeting these decarbonization goals. Demonstration projects will support this innovation. Supported CCS demonstration projects will benefit entities intending to commercialize and deploy integrated CCS projects. Incentives are already driving CCS investments. Experience gained through successful execution that advance the state of this program can help to accelerate CCS deployment to achieve our climate goals while achieving other societal objectives.CCS demonstration projects must be integrated with commercial facility operations and must be conducted in the United States. Applicants must demonstrate significant improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness, cost, operational and environmental performance of existing carbon capture technologies. This FOA seeks applications for transformational domestic, commercial-scale, integrated CCS, demonstration projects designed to further advance the development, deployment, and commercialization of technologies to capture, transport (if required), and store CO2 emissions from:1) two projects at new or existing coal electric generation facilities two projects at new or existing natural gas electric generation facilities, and2) two projects at new or existing industrial facilities not purposed for electric generation. This FOA makes available up to $1,700,000,000 for approximately 6 projects at up to a 50% federal cost share.
