The US Department of Energy has announced a $127.5m funding announcement to support carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, removal, and conversion centres for cement manufacturing sites and power plants.
Announced through the DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), the funding will focus on three key areas in support of achieving the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of Net Zero emissions by 2050.
A proportion of the funding will be put towards the establishment of a carbon capture, removal, and conversion test centre at an electric generating unit. This will focus on providing post-combustion flue gas testing capabilities representative of domestic coal and/or natural gas-based power systems.
In addition to the test centre at the electric generating site, a new carbon capture, removal, and conversion technology test centre will also be established at a cement manufacturing facility. This will enable testing with flue gas representatives of domestic cement production, ensuring that the technology is tailored to the needs of the industry.
