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,...

Creare LLC was awarded a $769,822 cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) to develop a novel air contractor design for direct removal of carbon dioxide from ambient air under Topic P of funding opportunity announcement DE-FOA-0001954. The project will create low pressure drop contactors for direct air capture using amine-based sorbent coated plates. Research Triangle Institute (RTI) will provide the sorbent coated plates as a...

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...
