Point Source Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilots

The grant aims to support innovative technology developers in the United States by funding large-scale pilot projects for point-source carbon capture. This initiative focuses on advancing carbon capture technologies to reduce emissions, improve cost-efficiency, and enhance environmental performance.

Type of Projects to Develop

• Large-scale carbon capture pilot demonstrations
• Integration of carbon capture with existing industrial facilities
• Development of advanced carbon capture systems

Eligibility Criteria

• Projects must capture at least 75,000 metric tons of CO2 per year
• Technology should have completed a small pilot prototype
• Applicants must demonstrate the ability to finance and manage the project at large scale

Eligible Expenses

• Construction and testing of pilot plants
• Technical design and engineering studies
• Operational and labor costs associated with running the pilot

Examples of Eligible Projects to be Developed

• Pilot plant for membrane-based carbon capture at a cement factory
• Retrofitting a natural gas plant with advanced carbon capture technology
• Testing a new chemical loop for CO2 absorption in steel production

Financial Information

• Maximum funding per company: Up to $100 million
