This Notice of Intent (NOI) is for informational purposes only; the Department of Energy is not seeking comments on the information in this notice and applications are not being accepted at this time. Any information contained in this notice is subject to change. This is a Notice of Intent to Issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity number DE-FOA-0003490; titled, Carbon Capture Research and Development and Front-End Engineering Design Studies for Power Generation and Industrial Point Sources. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of many approaches critical to significantly reducing domestic and global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, the energy and capital cost associated with state-of-the-art carbon capture systems represent a barrier to meaningful deployment. Development, testing, and analysis are required to generate expansive data sets that can be used to minimize cost, validate performance, and minimize environmental risks while scaling up carbon capture processes to commercially relevant scales. Efforts sought under this NOFO will build upon and expand research and development that DOE has invested in since 2009 to support achievement of emissions reduction targets.
