Recent Announcements
FECM announced more than $518 million for 23 projects that will provide for the development and validation of commercial large-scale carbon storage infrastructure to significantly and responsibly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. FECM is also seeking information from stakeholders on carbon storage infrastructure needs prior to opening the next round of this funding opportunity.
FECM, with DOE’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technologies Office, announced more than $58.5 million for 11 projects that support integrated pilot-scale testing of advanced technologies and detailed monitoring, reporting, and verification protocols.
FECM announced $29 million for 12 research and development projects that support two carbon management priorities—the conversion of carbon dioxide into environmentally responsible and economically valuable products and the development of lower-cost, highly efficient technologies to capture carbon dioxide from industrial sources and power plants for permanent storage or conversion.
DOE released its Carbon Management Strategy for public comment. The Strategy provides a comprehensive roadmap for the remainder of the decade that outlines the diverse tools and approaches DOE will use to develop and deploy carbon management solutions. The deadline to submit comments is December 10, 2024.
FECM announced progress achieved by the international Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) Working Group, which began collaboration last year to advance credible information about greenhouse gas emissions across the natural gas supply chain to drive emissions reductions in the global marketplace.
The Osage and Navajo Nations have each signed a memorandum of understanding with FECM’s Office of Resource Sustainability to develop a framework for identifying undocumented orphaned oil and natural gas wells on Tribal lands and reducing methane emissions and other harmful environmental impacts.
FECM announced the formation of the Tribal Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Working Group, which will provide ongoing advice and expertise to DOE on the best ways to assist Tribal carbon management, methane mitigation, and critical minerals development efforts.
DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness Lab Call. The goal of TCF is to improve America’s energy competitiveness and security by accelerating commercialization of critical clean energy technologies to market.
DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions, in collaboration with FECM and the Offices of Clean Energy Demonstrations and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, announced that over 170 companies, tribes, and local governments will receive support to advance commercialization of clean energy technologies in the form of in-kind DOE-funded vouchers.
