The goal...
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...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $22,532,805.00 in funding to Arizona State University to execute planning activities and complete a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for a regional direct air capture (DAC) hub in the Southwest United States. The hub is intended to have an initial capacity of at least 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year,...
This $3,751,595 federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), supports a feasibility study for a regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub in the Pueblo region of Colorado. The overall objective is to evaluate the potential to capture and store at least 1 million metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually, with an initial capacity of at least 50,000 metric tons. The study will be executed in two phases...
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $11,158,273 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines. The primary objective of this CTV III CO2 Storage Project is to provide a safe, effective, and commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) storage solution in the greater San Francisco and Sacramento area. The project aims to advance technologies for capturing,...
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,250,000 Cooperative Agreement to Carbon Solutions LLC under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The "Trail of the Chiefs" project will provide a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for a carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline network connecting multiple CO2 sources to geologic storage sites across Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. The FEED study will...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $7,499,101 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to accelerate the commercialization, scale-up, and field deployment of innovative methane emissions reduction technologies.
