The US Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has announced more than USD 31 million in funding for 10 projects to develop carbon capture technologies capable of capturing at least 95% of carbon dioxide emissions generated from natural gas power plants, waste-to-energy power plants, and industrial applications, including cement and steel. Deploying these technologies in the power and industrial sectors at commercial scale is needed to advance the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035, and a net-zero greenhouse gas economy by 2050.DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory will manage the 10 selected projects. The projects will support development and testing of transformational carbon capture materials, equipment, and processes for applications in natural gas combined cycle, waste-to-energy power generation and the industrial sector. Other projects will perform front-end engineering design studies for industrial plants and NGCC power plants integrated with carbon capture systems.
