This $20,829,981.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089) supports the development of a Regional Direct Air Capture Hub in Northwest Louisiana. The primary awardee, Carbon Capture Inc., will leverage this funding over the 2-year project period from January 2025 to January 2027 to advance research, development, and implementation of direct air capture...
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has awarded a $4,144,938 Cooperative Agreement to the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The primary objective of this project is to formulate a regional direct air capture (DAC) hub concept in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) by conducting the relevant analysis, engineering, and stakeholder engagement necessary to advance the project from a...
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 Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $20,484,466 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to the Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) to establish the Southeast Direct Air Capture (SEDAC) Hub. The goal of the SEDAC Hub is to lay the groundwork for broad deployment of direct air capture (DAC) technology in Mobile County, Alabama. The project involves multiple sub-awardees such as Air Capture LLC, 8...
This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $3,909,166.00, is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086). The overall objective is to complete a feasibility study for a regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub encompassing Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. The study will be executed in two phases: Phase 0A to complete a pre-feasibility study, and Phase 0B to complete the full feasibility study. Key...
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 Department of Energy (DOE), through its Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, awarded a $3,095,379 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) on September 1, 2024. The primary purpose of this 2-year project, titled "Texas Louisiana Carbon Management Community (TXLACMC)," is to provide stakeholders in the fossil-fuel heavy industrial corridor of Texas and Louisiana with crucial information about carbon capture and storage (CCS)...
