DOE proposes to authorize the expenditure of federal funds to Battelle Memorial Institute to facilitate the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and eventually decommissioning of a portion of Project Cypress. Project Cypress would accelerate commercialization of, and demonstrate the processing, transport, secure geologic storage, and/or conversion of, carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the atmosphere.
