Learn about the latest developments in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NETL Carbon Capture Program in this month’s edition of the Carbon Capture Newsletter.

The DOE/NETL Carbon Capture Program is developing the next generation of advanced carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture technologies that can provide step-change reductions in both cost and energy requirements as compared to currently available technologies.

The Carbon Capture Program focuses on the broad portfolio of projects, including post- and pre-combustion capture to reduce carbon emissions across a wide spectrum of industries. Other focus areas include carbon-based power generation and negative emissions technologies such as direct capture of CO₂ from the atmosphere and bioenergy with carbon capture.

Information featured in this month’s edition includes:

• A statement from U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm supporting the nomination of Brad Crabtree as Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy and Carbon Management.

• Interagency news on several important topics, including honors presented to NETL’s José Figueroa, supervisor, Carbon Capture Team, who will receive the Great Minds in STEM™ Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Award.

• An update from researchers at DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory on developing technology to convert captured CO₂ into methane.

• A call for graduate students and early career professionals to apply for the 2021 Research Experience in Carbon Sequestration program. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants and is tuition free.

• A listing of U.S. and international events to showcase innovations across the energy landscape.

• Links to recently published journal articles and reports.
