Delek plans to expand the system to capture 730,000 TPY...
The Department of Energy, through its Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255), awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to National Cement Company of California, Inc. (NCC-CA) to construct and operate an integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) system at their Lebec, California cement plant. The project will utilize three key processes: 1) replacing a portion of the plant's fossil fuel use with locally sourced biomass, 2) producing limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) to...
This $31,262,296 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) aims to demonstrate the feasibility of safely converting a mature oil and gas field in the Permian Basin into a dedicated carbon dioxide (CO2) storage facility. The key objectives are to: 1) further validate the subsurface characterization, storage capacity, and technical/economic performance to inform the final...
The U.S. Department of Energy's Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program awarded a $3,709,032 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois to complete a feasibility study for a regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub in Florida. The key objectives are to define the DAC hub organization, select technologies, assess life cycle emissions, identify safety/regulatory requirements, and develop financing, business, and community benefits plans. Planned sub-awards include...
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to Heidelberg Materials US, Inc. (Heidelberg Materials) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations federal grant program (CFDA 81.255).

The project aims to capture at least 95% of the...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $6,389,512 Cooperative Agreement under its Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) on September 25, 2024. The key objectives of this project are to: Design, build, and operate a solvent-based post-combustion carbon capture system at the Vicksburg Pulp and Paper Mill facility to separate 120,000 tons of CO2 per year, validating at least 90% carbon capture efficiency and 95% CO2 purity under...
The University of North Dakota received a $14,500,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) to investigate the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and geologic CO2 storage in the Bakken formation. The project aims to conduct laboratory studies and a minimum 18-month field pilot test to evaluate the potential for incremental oil recovery...
The Department of Energy, through its Clean Energy Demonstrations Program (CFDA 81.255), awarded a $4,199,672 Cooperative Agreement to DCC East Project LLC on September 30, 2024. This funding supports Project Tundra, an initiative to install post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) technology at the existing Milton R. Young Station, a lignite-based coal power plant in North Dakota. The project aims to demonstrate state-of-the-art CCS technology, including system integration techniques and durable commercial structures, to support further carbon capture innovation and advance CCS deployment to help achieve climate goals. The project must demonstrate at least 90% CO2 capture efficiency over baseline emissions and a path to even greater efficiencies.
