The intent of this RFI is to obtain public input in support of a DOE plan on the deployment and demonstration of carbon management and clean energy technologies to support the administration’s goals of decarbonizing the electricity sector by 2035 and the economy by 2050. With the enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, DOE will help demonstrate these carbon management and clean energy technologies and prove them out at pilot- to commercial-scale in partnership with industry and communities.
The information being sought is intended to assist DOE in the development of priorities and initiatives to enable the development and deployment of sustainable technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS); carbon dioxide pipelines; carbon dioxide conversion; and carbon dioxide removal technologies. Specifically, this RFI seeks input on the viability of technology demonstration and deployment projects to support the energy transition, eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, produce clean energy, create jobs, and enable a net-zero carbon emissions economy by 2050, all while prioritizing social justice. The information collected will also inform the type of information needed to determine whether a project is successful.
