This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, will conduct a feasibility assessment of an integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at a site in Carbon County, Wyoming. The $11,247,972 award to the University of Wyoming will fund technical and non-technical analyses, data gathering, permitting, risk mitigation planning, and...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $6,104,774 was granted on August 26, 2024 by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The objective of this feasibility study is to (1) assess, de-risk and validate a portfolio of direct air capture (DAC) technologies, (2) explore opportunities to optimize the balance of plant for economies of scale, and (3) assess the technical and commercial viability...

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy awarded a $3,585,569 Cooperative Agreement to Fervo Energy Company to establish a geothermal energy-driven direct air carbon capture and sequestration hub in southwest Utah. The project, funded under the DOE's Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), aims to identify sites where there is a strong overlap between geothermal resource potential and geologic conditions suitable for large-scale carbon storage. The...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award, titled "THE SWEETWATER CARBON STORAGE HUB (SCS HUB)", is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The $54,128,128 award, granted on August 15, 2024, aims to capture and store carbon from a proposed direct air capture facility and a soda ash mine in the Rocky Mountains. The key products and services to be delivered under this...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $22,532,805.00 in funding to Arizona State University to execute planning activities and complete a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for a regional direct air capture (DAC) hub in the Southwest United States. The hub is intended to have an initial capacity of at least 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year,...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Carbon Solutions LLC under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant will support development of a decision-support tool to identify carbon dioxide capture opportunities across the United States energy sector from 2023-2024. The tool aims to facilitate the country's transition to net-zero carbon emissions through profiling capturable CO2 streams and providing the break-even capture cost,...

The Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, awarded a $5,582,302 Cooperative Agreement titled "Virginia CarbonSafe Storage" to the Virginia Department of Energy. The project objectives are to: (1) demonstrate the safe and permanent storage of commercial volumes of carbon dioxide in subsurface saline formations; (2) create a community and stakeholder engagement plan focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and economic development; (3) develop a framework...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a direct air capture technology for carbon dioxide sequestration. The university will utilize industrial waste materials and a two-step mineral carbonation method to directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as a stable mineral. This has the potential to offer a low-cost solution for permanent CO2 removal on a...

This $4,250,273 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) funds a feasibility study for a 600+ mile, regional, commercial-scale, common carrier CO2 pipeline system. The "Gulf Coast Decarb System" (GCDS) project will assess the technical and economic viability of transporting supercritical anthropogenic CO2 from multiple sources to multiple sinks along the Gulf...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,250,000 Cooperative Agreement to Carbon Solutions LLC under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The "Trail of the Chiefs" project will provide a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for a carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline network connecting multiple CO2 sources to geologic storage sites across Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. The FEED study will...
