The goal of the Carbon Storage Program of the U. S. Department of Energy is to develop and advance both onshore and offshore carbon storage technologies that will significantly improve the effectiveness of the technology, reduce the cost of implementation, and be ready for widespread commercial deployment
in the 2025–2035 timeframe.
The objective of this announcement is to secure applications that will support efforts to develop technologies that utilize CO2 from coal-fired power plants as a reactant to produce useful products without generating additional CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions validated via a product Life Cycle Analysis.
