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 in this month’s edition includes:

• An announcement detailing the launch of the Net-Zero World Initiative — a U.S.-led partnership with several countries to accelerate transitions to net-zero, resilient and inclusive energy systems. Through this initiative, DOE will mobilize state-of-art technology and expertise from its national laboratories to advance global decarbonization.
• Interagency news on priority topics, including updates on the Carbon-Negative Shot, an all-hands-on-deck call for innovation in the expanding field of CO₂ removal, and plans to hold the 2022 Clean Energy Ministerial and the ministerial for Mission Innovation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in September.
• Business and industry news updates, featuring a report on the successful completion of a six-month testing campaign for a third-generation solvent technology (ICE-31) at the National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville, Alabama.
• Links to recently published journal articles and announcements about upcoming U.S. and international events that will focus on various carbon capture issues and technologies.
