The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) awarded a $99 million Cooperative Agreement to Orsted Star P2X LLC on December 1, 2024 under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255). The project, known as the STAR E-Methanol Project, plans to use captured carbon dioxide from a local industrial facility to produce up to 300,000 metric tons of e-methanol per year, reducing the carbon footprint by 80% compared to traditional production methods. This...
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) awarded a $95,000,000 cooperative agreement to The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255). Through this award, Dow will capture 50% to 90% of byproduct carbon dioxide (CO2) from its purified ethylene oxide (PEO) operations in Freeport, Texas. The captured CO2 will be used to produce high-purity electrolyte solvents required for domestic electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion...
The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded Giner Inc. a $3,750,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The goal of this 1-year project is to develop a dual-recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion platform tailored for the exclusive conversion of CO2 into ethylene (C2H4). The project aims to achieve high carbon efficiency, energy efficiency, C2H4 selectivity and productivity, and...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $50,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to 1Pointfive P2 LLC to construct the South Texas Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hub. The project aims to remove up to 1,000,000 metric tons of CO2 per year from the atmosphere using liquid sorbent DAC technology developed by Carbon Engineering, an affiliate of 1Pointfive. The project will demonstrate the commercial-scale processing, transport, geologic storage,...
This $95,000,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) supports Delek US Holdings, Inc. in designing and building a large-scale pilot carbon capture system at its Big Spring, Texas refinery. The project aims to capture 145,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from a fluid catalytic cracking unit, with plans to expand to capturing 730,000 metric tons across 10 flue gas sources. The captured CO2 will be...
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) awarded a $18,817,369 Cooperative Agreement to Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub, Inc. under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) on January 17, 2025. The award aims to achieve at least 250 metric tons per day (MTPD) of clean hydrogen production by the end of the 10-year performance period, with 95% generated from renewable and nuclear energy sources and the remainder from renewable natural gas with...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to Diageo Americas Supply, Inc. to decarbonize their beverage production facilities in Plainfield, IL and Shelbyville, KY. The key goals of the project are to: Install and operate Rondo heat battery systems with combined heat and power (CHP), solar PV, and other electrification technologies at the Plainfield and Shelbyville facilities to achieve at least 75%...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) program to BASF Corporation. The project aims to optimize on-site syngas production from waste streams at BASF's chemical manufacturing facility in Freeport, Texas via plasma gasification. This will reduce the facility's consumption of natural gas, thereby lowering greenhouse gas and criteria air pollutant emissions. The project also involves accessing renewable power...
This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $21,962,062.00, was granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255). The award aims to demonstrate a pathway in the Gulf Coast region to a profitable, equitable, and sustainable clean energy future by leveraging hydrogen as a clean, versatile energy carrier to transform and decarbonize industry, while generating new economic opportunities shared...
This $9.4 million Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program, will fund research, development, and prototype or pilot-scale technology validation and demonstration activities focused on cross-sector approaches for industrial decarbonization. The award recipient, Resource Chemical Corp, will explore strategies to increase efficiency and...
