Through decades of advanced research, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Carbon Storage Program, implemented by NETL, has steadily helped move carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) toward commercialization. In-house carbon storage research in technology areas like wellbore integrity and mitigation; storage complex efficiency and security; and monitoring, verification, accounting and assessment have built a strong science-based foundation for CCUS. These lab- and pilot-scale efforts have advanced technologies to the point where individual companies, utilities and other business entities can design, manufacture and build the equipment and instrumentation needed to implement or commercialize the process.
﻿The US Department of Energy (DoE)﻿, announced its latest round of carbon capture research funding by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), that will support five new projects to speed up ﻿the commercialisation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. In a press release, DOE said it is providing $22 million for four projects, including one at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennessee.
