OpportunityTitle: Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program
Description: DOE&#8217;s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), in collaboration with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) and National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), for integrated carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects that demonstrate substantial improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness, cost, and environmental performance of carbon capture technologies for power, industrial, and other commercial applications. The overarching goal of this NOFO is to unlock a wave of follow-on investment in low-carbon power and low-carbon industrial products by increasing the capital flow to sectors where it is already occurring and by expanding the CCUS market to additional power, industrial, and commercial applications. Awards made under this NOFO will be funded with funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The BIL will invest up to $2.537 billion to fund domestic CCUS demonstration and commercial-scale projects that further the development, deployment, and commercialization of technologies to capture and geologically store CO2 emissions. In addition, the BIL has a total appropriation of $937 million for fiscal years (FY) 2022 through 2025 for large-scale pilot projects that accelerate the development, deployment, and commercialization of innovative and transformative carbon capture technologies. This NOFO makes available up to $1,300,000,000 for approximately 10 projects at maximum Federal cost shares ranging from 50% to 80%, depending on the Topic Area and Phase of the project. The NOFO is divided into three Topic Areas based on the technology readiness level (TRL) and scope of the proposed project. DOE will select projects that seek to demonstrate the following, based on the chosen Topic Area: &#8226; Topic Area 1 &#8211; The technical and commercial viability of established carbon capture technologies (TRL &gt;7) in both new applications and at commercial scale. &#8226; Topic Area 2 &#8211; First-of-a-kind transformational technologies (TRL 5&#8211;6) at the large pilot scale. &#8226; Topic Area 3 &#8211; Region-specific carbon management networks with multiple emitters to reduce offtake uncertainty and increase emitter access to storage facilities. All applications, concept paper, forms, and instructions are available on OCED eXCHANGE.
