DOE seeks carbon

capture technologies

U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry recently

announced approximately $36 million in funding

to advance carbon capture technologies under

the Energy Department’s (DOE’s) Ofce of Fossil

Energy.

The Design and Testing of Advanced Carbon

Capture Technologies announcement will support

cost-shared research and development projects that

will continue the development of carbon capture

technologies to either the engineering scale or to a

commercial design, DOE said.

“Carbon capture technologies are one of the

most effective ways we can continue to leverage the

sustainability of our Nation’s fossil fuel resources

while advancing environmental stewardship,”

said Secretary Perry in a statement. “This funding

opportunity will provide for further innovation

on methods for capturing carbon emissions for

storage and other utilization efforts, as well as

underscore this Administration’s commitment to

both environmental and economic security.”

According to a DOE release, successful proposals

will fall under two interest areas:

• Scaling of Carbon Capture Technologies

to Engineering Scales Using Existing Host Site

Infrastructure—up to four awards, with combined

DOE funding up to $30 million.

• Initial Engineering, Testing, and Design for a

Commercial-Scale, Post-Combustion CO2 Capture

System—up to two awards, with combined DOE

funding up to $6 million.

These projects will undertake engineering-scale

testing of transformational solvent– or membrane-

based CO2 capture technologies, DOE said, and

will conduct design work for a commercial-scale,

post-combustion CO2 capture system at an existing

coal-fueled generating unit.

The proposal deadline is Nov. 22, 2017.
