The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois a $5 million cooperative agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA #81.089). The award will support the project "Direct Air Capture-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal with United States Low-Carbon Energy and Sinks" from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.
Under this cooperative agreement, the University of Illinois will work with sub-awardee Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to develop direct air capture technologies to minimize the environmental impacts of fossil fuels and advance the Office's mission of achieving net-zero emissions. Specifically, the project aims to advance methods for directly removing carbon dioxide from ambient air and pairing it with low-carbon domestic energy sources and carbon sinks. This research supports the Office's programs to demonstrate carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies through collaborative public-private partnerships.
