DOE to award $15M for direct air capture technologies

Green Car Congress

Since 2001, DOE-FE’s Carbon Capture Program has been identifying and advancing technologies with the goal of removing CO 2 from point sources such as fossil fuel-based power plants and industrial processes or directly from the atmosphere. The technologies should incur minimum costs and minimum energy penalties.
