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 Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $249,975 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) to Captura Corp. on December 20, 2023. The objective of this 23-month project is to develop a conceptual design for an integrated abiotic direct ocean capture (DOC) system capable of capturing up to 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. The system design will include key components such as water intake/outfall,...
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...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $72,016,473 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to Kentucky Utilities Company to design, build, and operate a solvent-based carbon capture pilot project at the Cane Run Generating Station. The project aims to validate at least 90% carbon capture efficiency and 95% CO2 purity under real exhaust conditions, as well as de-risk CO2 capture for natural gas combined cycle commercial-scale applications. The...
The federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255), supports the "Sustainable Ethylene from CO2 Utilization with Renewable Energy (SECURE)" project led by Technip Energies USA, Inc.
