DOE has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) regarding funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for carbon capture from industrial sources and innovative concepts for beneficial CO2 use. Note that this is not a call for applications. The Funding Opportunity Announcement is expected to be released in May 2009. Large-scale industrial carbon capture and sequestration: The goal is to demonstrate advanced technologies that will capture CO2 emissions from industrial sources and sequester the CO2 or put it to beneficial use. The target is for 1 million tons per year per plant of CO2 to be captured and sequestered. 2. Innovative concepts for beneficial CO2 use: Potential targets include, but are not limited to, CO2 mineralization to carbonates directly through conversion of CO2 in flue gas or indirectly through capture of CO2 from air; use of CO2 from power plant or industrial applications to grow algae/biomass; or, conversion of the CO2 to fuels and chemicals.
