Approximately $20 million was awarded to four regional carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) last week to reduce CO2 emissions from industrial sources and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
The award was split into four equal parts, divided among university-led partnerships with academia, non-governmental organizations, industry, and local/state governments. They included:
“Every pocket of the country can and will benefit from the clean energy transition, and that includes our expanded use of carbon capture and storage technology to remove carbon pollution from fossil fuel use,” Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said. “Through DOE’s Regional Initiatives projects, we are making sure states—especially those with historic ties to fossil fuel industries—can access technology innovations to abate carbon pollution and enhance their local economies so that no worker or workforce is left behind.”
Each effort will work to promote CCUS projects, as well as investigate technical challenges to their deployment, aid the collection, sharing, and analysis of data, evaluate regional storage and transportation infrastructure and encourage regional transfer of technologies. The end goal is support for the commercialization of CCUS overall.
