Description
DOE-Fossil
Energys program in Carbon Capture has been developing carbon capture
technologies since 2001 with the goal of decreasing the cost of carbon capture
systems. This FOA is comprised of two Areas of Interest (AOI) targeting the
development of new materials for use in DAC (AOI-1) and the continued
advancement and field testing of DAC technologies currently under development
(AOI-2). DOE wishes to encourage team-oriented approaches as part of their
response to this announcement. Involvement of various stakeholders is seen
as an important facet to providing a fully integrated solution. It is
considered critical that analyses related to environmental performance, safety,
technical and economic assessment be conducted by individuals or organizations
with professional capabilities in these areas. Proposed budget and
schedule should accurately reflect any additional effort deemed necessary to
satisfactorily address these areas.
A 20% cost share is required.
AOI-1
Development of Novel Materials for Direct Air Capture of
CO2
AOI-1
aims to fund research to develop carbon capture materials specifically tailored
for DAC processes. The objective of AOI-1 is to research and develop novel
DAC materials, such as, but not limited to:
solvents
membranes
sorbents
Applicants
shall demonstrate a thorough understanding of the material(s) being proposed and
a sufficient understanding of its applicability to DAC. These materials
should demonstrate high affinities or capacities for CO2 at concentrations
typically available in air and at near ambient conditions.
AOI-2
Field Testing of Direct Air Capture
AOI-2
seeks applied research and development (R&D) to decrease the cost of DAC
through the testing of existing DAC materials in integrated field units that
capture CO2 and produce a concentrated CO2 stream of at least 95% purity.
AOI-2 applies to carbon capture materials that have been developed and tested on
DAC systems.
