The University of Wyoming received a $21.4 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089), awarded June 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for May 31, 2027. Under this award, the University will design, construct, and test new flue gas dilution, polishing, and sampling systems and supporting infrastructure at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC) in Laramie, Wyoming. These enhancements will enable the facility to simulate multiple emissions sources simultaneously, significantly expanding its technical capabilities. The project directly supports the Department of Energy's net-zero greenhouse gas emissions objectives by providing enhanced infrastructure for the development and validation of post-combustion carbon capture technologies. By enabling simultaneous multi-source emissions simulation, the upgraded test center will accelerate the advancement of domestic carbon management technologies and support the commercialization of emissions mitigation solutions critical to achieving net-zero industrial and energy sector operations.Wyoming Integrated Test Center Enhancement – Cooperative Agreement Summary
