In April 2020, DOE announced up to $131 million for carbon capture, utilization, and storage R&D projects through one new funding opportunity announcement and the winners of five project selections from a previous funding opportunity. Under the new funding opportunity, Engineering-Scale Testing from Coal- and Natural-Gas-Based Flue Gas and Initial Engineering Design for Industrial Sources, DOE made up to $46 million available for cost-shared R&D projects that capture and store CO2 emissions from industrial sources.
In 2017, DOE announced $36 million dollars in funding for advanced carbon capture technologies. The funding was divided between four awards totaling $30 million demonstrating the scaling of carbon capture technologies, and two awards totaling $6 million for initial engineering, testing, and design. Separately, DOE later announced up to $30 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development of novel and enabling carbon capture transformational technologies. A 2016 Congressional Research Services report surveys previous DOE support for carbon capture and Sequestration.
