US backs CCS tech projects with $304m
Government selects four large-scale projects spanning power, refining and paper sectors to receive funding to pilot transformational technologies
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has provisionally allocated up to $304m to four large-scale CCS demonstration projects at power generation and industrial sites in Kentucky, Mississippi, Texas and Wyoming in a move designed to pilot “transformational technologies” in the carbon-capture sector. The financial support, which is dependent on negotiations with the selected project developers, is funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The selected projects are as follows: Up to $72m has been earmarked for a carbon-capture pilot project at the 640MW Cane Run gas-fired power plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The pilot, led by PPL Corporation, will deploy advanced heat-integrated CO₂ capture
