ContactTurning ambitious ideas into technology solutions
A one-of-a-kind facility supporting rapid technology development for atmospheric carbon capture.
The DAC Center Mission
Accelerating commercialization of innovative direct air capture (DAC) technologies is the mission of NETL’s DAC Center. We provide the testing facilities and national lab support to accelerate technically and economically viable DAC solutions—helping our partners in industry maintain and expand American dominance in DAC technology.
State-of-the-Art Testing Facilities
From designing, installing, and operating experimental systems to interpreting data and results, NETL’s DAC Center provides affordable and accessible material, module, and prototype scale testing facilities and support. Empowering innovators from government, academia, and the private sector, the Center tests emerging technologies that have achieved proof-of-concept but have not reached full pilot scale (technology readiness levels 3 to 6).
Visit NETL's DAC Center
The new DAC Center is located in southwest Pennsylvania, with available remote collaboration. Nestled within NETL’s Pittsburgh campus, this $25 million dedicated research center leverages the Lab’s 25+ years of experience in point source carbon capture research and development.
