Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) plans to test the feasibility of deploying at-scale novel DAC solutions by developing a DAC hub powered by nuclear energy for the Midwest. The Midwest is the second largest regional emitter of carbon dioxide in the United States and is home to both heavy-emitting industries and a rich ecosystem of innovation… Continue reading Midwest Nuclear DAC Hub (MINDAC)
A proposed hydrogen hub serving the states of Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. The project goal for the proposed hub is to utilize combined natural resources and innovative optimization tools to establish a renewable clean hydrogen hub in support of the Department of Energy’s strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The hub-wide goal aligns… Continue reading Mid-Continent Clean Hydrogen Hub — MCH2 (Encouraged)
A full-scale, 10-to-20-MW carbon capture sequestration pilot unit. The solvent-independent CO2 capture system would be retrofitted to the Louisville Gas & Electric-Kentucky Utilities Company Cane Run #7 700 MWe natural gas combined cycle power generation unit. The project team is led by Electric Power Research Institute and the technology is developed by the University of… Continue reading Louisville Gas & Electric | 700-MW Cane Run 7 CCS Pilot
An offshore CO₂ storage complex in the Gulf of Mexico’s South Timbalier Lease Area off the coast of Louisiana. The project would repurpose some of Cox’s offshore assets, consisting of more than 600 wells in 66 fields. As part of the project, Crescent will repurpose a 110-mile pipeline corridor to transfer the CO2. Southern States… Continue reading Louisiana Offshore CO2 Hub — Project Lochridge
The project is intended to be a flagship for long-term growth of clean hydrogen development and utilization in the Gulf Coast region. The LIGH2T proposal includes access to and ownership of the region’s existing hydrogen infrastructure. This existing infrastructure will enable rapid at-scale utilization for a clean hydrogen network complete with production, transportation, storage and… Continue reading LIGH2T: Leading in Gulf Coast Hydrogen Transition (Encouraged)
A full-scale integrated CO2 capture facility for Entergy Louisiana LLC’s natural gas combined cycle Lake Charles Power Station. The project would use post-combustion CO2 capture technology with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd KS-21™ solvent capable of capturing a minimum of 95% of the CO2 emissions, equating to nearly 2.5M tonnes of CO2 per year. Entergy Services,… Continue reading Entergy | Lake Charles Power Station CCS
InEnTec will build a new renewable dimethyl ether (rDME) production facility at CRC’s Net Zero Industrial Park in Kern County California. In April 2023, Carbon TerraVault entered into a Carbon Dioxide Management Agreement (CDMA) with InEnTec to sequester initially at the minimum 100,000 MTPA of CO2 from InEnTec’s facility in the CTV I carbon storage… Continue reading InEnTec rDME Kern County Facility
The development of a synthetic fuel project in central Illinois. Illinois Clean Fuels would be a commercial production-scale synthetic fuel project producing 414,000,000 gallons per year of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from municipal garbage. This plant would combine bio-energy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS)..
The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois is leading an effort to promote technologies that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The effort includes the development of a DAC hub in the Illinois Basin, a proven geological storage strata stretching under Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. The Illinois Basin Regional DAC Hub intends… Continue reading Illinois Basin Regional DAC Hub
