What the grant funds

Carbon Capture, Removal, and Conversion Test Centers: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of many approaches critical to significantly reducing domestic and global CO2 emissions. However, the energy and capital cost associated with state-of-the-art carbon capture systems represents a barrier to wide deployment. Performance of these systems in an industrial/utility environment is also required to establish experience using capture technologies and develop robust data sets that can be used to minimize costs and validate performance and environmental risks while scaling up carbon capture processes to commercially relevant scales. In order to fully address these issues, DOE-FECM/NETL through its Carbon Capture, Removal, and Conversion Programs is investigating the establishment of Carbon Capture, Removal, and Conversion Test Centers to cost-effectively research and evaluate, in an integrated process, the technical efficacy of advanced systems and components under relevant industrial or power plant operating conditions. Amendment 000003 was issued to notify applicants of the 2024 revisions to 2 CFR. Please see the Funding Opportunity Announcement for the full text of the amendment.
