Background Information
On October 17, 2024 the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) released a Notice of Intent (NOI) to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled Carbon Storage Technology Operations & Research (CarbonSTORE) to support the development of field laboratories for geologic carbon storage.
These carbon storage field laboratories would facilitate rapid commercialization of emerging technologies. Prioritized technologies are anticipated to improve operational performance of storage facilities and reduce costs. These field laboratories could be located in a variety of geologic settings and be integrated with, or be proximal to, DOE-funded carbon storage sites or other non-government funded commercial carbon storage sites. DOE FECM would also consider analogue sites that have the characteristics of carbon storage sites, such as: field laboratories integrated with industrial acid gas injection sites, saltwater disposal wells, and CO2-enhanced oil recovery sites that are either in transition to dedicated CO2 storage or with near-term plans to transition.
This is a notice of intent only. DOE is not seeking comments on the information in this notice and applications are not being accepted at this time.
Areas of Interest
If funded, the NOFO would provide funding to establish carbon storage field laboratories where technology developers can field test, validate and demonstrate carbon storage technologies that should be accelerated into commercial practice. Priority research areas may include, but will not be limited to: carbon dioxide plume monitoring, other types of cost-effective monitoring using geochemical and geophysical processes, remediation and monitoring of wells, pore space utilization, and mineralization approaches.
