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 a 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:

• The Biden-Harris Administration has announced major investments to reduce CO2 emissions. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, projects are being advanced to develop diverse carbon management approaches.
   
• NETL researchers advancing carbon capture projects received prestigious 2022 Excellence in Government Awards from the Pittsburgh Federal Executive Board. See who struck gold.
   
• Summer and fall calendars are filling up with conferences focused on carbon capture and related topics. Check out the listing of events.
   
• The Business and Industry News section highlights innovative collaborations to advance carbon capture projects and use CO2 to manufacture useful products, including formic acid.
