OpportunityTitle: Recovery Act: Carbon Capture and Sequestration...
Description: Full FOA Title is Recovery Act: Carbon Capture and Sequestration from Industrial Sources and Innovative Concepts for Beneficial CO2 Use The CO2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS) and CO2 use is a cost-shared collaboration between the Government and industry to increase investment in clean industrial technologies and sequestration projects. In accordance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and Section 703 of Public Law 110&#191;140, for this Funding Opportunity Announcement, DOE&#191;s two specific objectives, identified as Technology Areas, are to demonstrate: (1) Large-scale industrial CCS projects from industrial sources and (2) Innovative concepts for beneficial CO2 use. The Applicants shall clearly identify the technology area under which the application is being submitted. Technology Area 1 - Large-scale industrial CCS projects from industrial sources: The objective is to demonstrate advanced technologies that capture and sequester carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources into underground formations. The large-scale CCS projects include integration of CO2 capture, transportation and sequestration incorporating comprehensive monitoring, verification accounting (MVA). The projects may include plant efficiency improvements for integration with CO2 capture technology. The industrial sources include, but are not limited to, cement plants, chemical plants, refineries, steel and aluminum plants, manufacturing facilities, and power plants using opportunity fuels (petroleum coke, municipal waste, etc.). Plants with electric power output greater than 50% of total energy output that operate on more than 55% coal as a feedstock are ineligible. The sequestration opportunities include deep saline formations, and deep geologic systems including basalts, operating oil and gas fields, depleted oil and gas fields, and unmineable coal seams. The CO2 sequestration commercial benefits include enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced methane recovery from unmineable coal seams. DOE&#191;s objective is that Recipients are able to operate at commercial scale in an industrial setting, technologies that make progress toward capture and sequestration of 75% of CO2 from the treated stream comprising at least 10% CO2 by volume that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere and at a scale sufficient to evaluate full impact of the CO2 capture technology on plant operations, economics, and performance. Additionally, the objective is to demonstrate geologic sequestration options in a variety of geologic settings in order to evaluate costs, operational processes, and the technical performance. DOE&#191;s target is for one million tons per year of CO2 emissions from each plant to be captured and sequestered. The evaluation process will give greater weights to applications for projects that capture and sequester amounts of CO2 approaching or exceeding DOE&#191;s Industrial Carbon Capture and Sequestration (ICCS) target of one million tons per plant per year by 2015 as an integral component of commercial operation. Long-term commitments from the suppliers or purchasers or users of CO2 would strengthen an application. Coordination with a large scale sequestration test, including EOR, is one way to demonstrate participation by a long term purchaser, or supplier of CO2, although other approaches to demonstrating sequestration will be given equal consideration in the merit review process.
