This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to expand the current Department of Energy (DOE) portfolio of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies (examples - biomass carbon removal and storage, enhanced mineralization, ocean-based CDR, Direct Air Capture [DAC], etc.) to advance technologies that will ultimately achieve the Carbon Negative Shot target of under $100/net tonne Carbon Dioxide equivalent (CO2e) removed (both capture and storage), by 2032.
The current FOA aims to support achievement of CNS objectives across CDR pathways through support for integrated pilot-scale testing of advanced CDR technologies in relevant environments.
Under the current FOA opening, applications are solicited in the following Areas of Interest (AOIs):
- AOI-1: Small Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) Pilots;
- AOI-2: Small Mineralization Pilots;
- AOI-3: Multi-Pathways CDR Testbed Facilities;
- AOI-4: is anticipated to be issued under future amendments to the FOA.
See FedConnect for further details regarding the AOIs.
Modification 000001 is issued to revise language in Section I.C.ii and add language in Section I.D of the Funding Opportunity Announcement
