The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy awarded a $3,585,569 Cooperative Agreement to Fervo Energy Company to establish a geothermal energy-driven direct air carbon capture and sequestration hub in southwest Utah. The project, funded under the DOE's Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), aims to identify sites where there is a strong overlap between geothermal resource potential and geologic conditions suitable for large-scale carbon storage. The...

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided 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, is funding a $36,864,167 project to advance the development of a biomass carbon dioxide capture and removal system at a pulp mill in Alabama. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) gather the necessary information to determine the suitability of the CO2 injection location for geologic storage, 2)...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $80,225,157 Cooperative Agreement on January 1, 2025 to the Tampa Electric Company (TEC) under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The funding will be used to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of developing a carbon dioxide (CO2) storage facility near TEC's Polk Power Station. The project aims to advance the commercial carbon storage project from the site...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $17,760,698 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to determine the feasibility of developing a commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage complex capable of safely and economically storing over 50 million metric tons of CO2. The project, known as the Alaska Railbelt Carbon Capture and Storage (ARCCS)...

This $4,250,273 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) funds a feasibility study for a 600+ mile, regional, commercial-scale, common carrier CO2 pipeline system. The "Gulf Coast Decarb System" (GCDS) project will assess the technical and economic viability of transporting supercritical anthropogenic CO2 from multiple sources to multiple sinks along the Gulf...

The Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, awarded a $5,582,302 Cooperative Agreement titled "Virginia CarbonSafe Storage" to the Virginia Department of Energy. The project objectives are to: (1) demonstrate the safe and permanent storage of commercial volumes of carbon dioxide in subsurface saline formations; (2) create a community and stakeholder engagement plan focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and economic development; (3) develop a framework...

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $3.185 million Cooperative Agreement to the Regional Water Authority under the Water Storage Enhancement program (CFDA 15.574) to develop a water bank mechanism for the Sacramento County region. Commencing December 1, 2025, and concluding November 30, 2027, this initiative will build upon previous planning studies and regional conjunctive use practices to establish operational frameworks that enhance water supply reliability, improve drought resiliency, and...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a direct air capture technology for carbon dioxide sequestration. The university will utilize industrial waste materials and a two-step mineral carbonation method to directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as a stable mineral. This has the potential to offer a low-cost solution for permanent CO2 removal on 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...
