DOE Invests $8M to Support Sustainable Industrial Practices


   
    

   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil 
Energy and Carbon Management today announced $8 million in federal funding for 
14 projects to advance technologies that capture carbon dioxide from industrial 
facilities and power plans to convert those CO2 emissions into valuable 
products.

   The agency said advancing the development of these technologies will help 
decarbonize industrial processes and establish the foundation for the 
development of a successful carbon conversion industry in the United States, 
supporting the Biden-Harris Administration's ambitious climate goals of 
achieving a carbon-neutral power sector by 2035 and net-zero greenhouse gas 
emissions by 2050.

   Six projects will focus on advancing research and development to use CO2 
captured from sources such as industrial and power generation facilities to 
produce algae-derived, value-added products. Eight projects will seek to 
advance oxygen-based approaches such as oxy-combustion and chemical looping, 
which could lead to reductions in CO2 emissions associated with industrial 
production processes.
