Check out the latest edition of the Carbon Capture Newsletter to learn about recent developments in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NETL Carbon Capture Program. 

The 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 a broad portfolio of projects, including post- and pre-combustion capture to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation and industrial sources. The program is also developing a wide array of approaches to remove CO₂ that has accumulated in the atmosphere, such as direct air capture with durable storage, biomass carbon removal and storage, and enhanced mineralization.

Information in this month’s edition includes:

•    A statement by U.S. Energy Secretary Granholm on President Biden’s executive order catalyzing America’s clean energy economy through federal sustainability.

•    Interagency updates on work by NETL project partner Svante Inc. to scale up a new sorbent and process technology, funding opportunity announcements and other important topics.

•    Links to upcoming conferences and events to advance the deployment of specific clean energy technologies and solutions.

•    Business and industry news highlights to develop low-cost direct air capture technology, advance clean hydrogen research and support emerging plans to capture and release CO₂ with minimum energy.
