Opportunity Title:
Industrial Carbon Dioxide Utilization for Value Added Products
Funder/Agency:
California Energy Commission (CEC)
Opportunity Number:
60039
Description:
The California Climate Crisis Act (AB 1279, 2022) established targets to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 85% below 1990 levels and reach carbon neutrality by 2045. Supporting this legislation, the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) 2022 Scoping Plan specifies that carbon removal activities such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are new approaches that will need to be deployed to help achieve these GHG emissions reduction goals.
The purpose of this solicitation is to improve the energy efficiency of innovative approaches and processes for manufacturing commodities using CO2 captured from industrial operations burning fossil gas. The goal is to decarbonize difficult-to-abate industrial fossil gas use via carbon dioxide utilization to create value-added products.
Areas of interest include:
A. Carbon Dioxide Mineralization for Cement, Concrete, and Materials
B. Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Fuels, Chemicals, and Plastics
C. Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Food Products and Textiles
Projects must fall within the following project groups:
Group 1: Carbon Dioxide Utilization Research and Development; and
Group 2: Carbon Dioxide Utilization Field Demonstrations.
