Name of Opportunity:

Carbon Capture and Sequestration

Introduction:

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.

Description:

Two specific objectives, identified as Technology Areas, are to demonstrate:

  • Large-scale industrial CCS projects from industrial sources;
  • 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.
