The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) entitled “Point-Source Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilots, Commercial Demonstrations, & Networked Demonstration Commercialization” in the last quarter of calendar year 2024. The goal of this NOFO is to support the design, stakeholder and community engagement, construction, and operation of point-source capture large-scale pilots and commercial scale demonstrations while also supporting the development of localized carbon management networks needed for commercial scale.
In the context of this NOFO, we define “localized carbon management networks” to be interconnected carbon management assets, including CO2 emitters, geologic storage sites, and pipeline transportation, contained in a subregional area we envision as approximately 50 radial miles from some central location.
