Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Local Engagement Opportunities

OCED recognizes that the long-term success of its projects depends not only on technical merits, but also on two-way engagement with and support from local communities, relevant labor partners and workforces, and other impacted groups. Local stakeholders will have substantive opportunities to engage with both DOE and project teams, starting during the negotiation process and extending throughout the full lifecycle of each project. 

Upcoming Events

With funding from both the Carbon Capture Demonstrations Projects Program and Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects Program, on December 17, 2024, OCED issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to fund up to $1.3 billion for transformational large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies. 

NOFO Webinar

OCED is holding an informational webinar for potential applicants on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 12 p.m., ET to discuss the NOFO. Register for the webinar here

Past Events

On December 14, 2023, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) announced the selection of three Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects for award negotiation. Local stakeholders will have substantive opportunities to engage with both DOE and the Carbon Capture Demonstration project teams, starting during the negotiation process and extending throughout the full lifecycle of each project.

On September 27, 2024, OCED issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to fund up to $1.3 billion for transformational large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies.
