About this program
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy funds large-scale industrial carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects and beneficial CO2 utilization through its Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Application program (CFDA 81.134), with the most recent grant award dated September 24, 2010.
This program has not been active for funding new awards for over 16 years. The portfolio comprises 42 total cooperative agreements obligating $1.93 billion in federal dollars, with combined total dollars (federal plus non-federal cost share) reaching $2.77 billion. Award activity spiked in 2009 with 25 awards and moderated to 13 awards in 2010; prior years averaged roughly one award per year from 2005 through 2008. No recent grant opportunities are currently posted.
The program funds two broad categories of activity. Industrial CCS projects capture CO2 from cement plants, chemical plants, refineries, steel and aluminum plants, manufacturing facilities, and coal-fired power plants, incorporating CO2 transportation, geologic sequestration into underground formations, comprehensive monitoring and verification accounting (MVA), and cost-share partnerships with industrial sponsors. Beneficial use projects convert captured or direct-air CO2 into valuable products including mineralized carbonates, algae and biomass feedstocks, fuels (diesel, synthetic hydrocarbons), and chemicals through advanced conversion and oxy-combustion technologies.
All 42 awards in the portfolio are cooperative agreements, with the Department of Energy as the sole funding agency across all awards. Award sizes range from under one million dollars to over one billion dollars. Recent mega-awards include a $1.12 billion award for demonstration of CO2 capture and sequestration from steam (completion Sep 30, 2017), a $344 million award for high-temperature syngas cleanup technology scale-up and demonstration, a $236 million award for beneficial CO2 use (SkyMine project), and a $110 million award for the Lake Charles CCS project. Smaller awards funded slipstream testing of postcapture and membrane-based capture technologies for coal-fired power plants, algae production for CO2 utilization, and regional geologic formation characterization for sequestration potential across multiple basins and offshore formations.
Objective and description
- Objective
The mission of the office of Fossil Energy (FE) Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Applications grant is to a.) demonstrate advanced technologies that capture and sequester CO2 emissions from industrial sources (e.g., cement plants, chemical plants, refineries, steel and aluminum plants, manufacturing facilities, and power plants using opportunity fuels (petroleum coke, municipal waste, etc.). into underground formations or put to beneficial use. The large-scale CCS projects include integration of CO2 capture, transportation and sequestration incorporating comprehensive Monitoring, Verification & Accounting (MVA), and/or b.) demonstrate innovative concepts for beneficial CO2 use, which include, but are not limited to, CO2 mineralization to carbonates directly through conversion of CO2 in flue gas or indirectly through capture of CO2 from air; use of CO2 from power plant or industrial applications to grow algae/biomass; or, conversion of the CO2 to fuels and chemicals.
