The Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects Program aims to pilot transformational technologies and prove them out at pilot-to-commercial scale in partnership with industry and communities. These large-scale pilot projects aim to significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, costs, emissions reductions, and environmental performance of coal and natural gas use at power and industrial facilities.
The Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program aims to advance integrated carbon capture, transport, and storage technologies and infrastructure that can be deployed at power plants and in hard-to-decarbonize heavy industries.
These awards were all canceled by DOE in May 2025.
