The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) leaders participated in several panel discussions at S&P’s Global CERAWeek 2024 in Houston, TX.

A Message from Assistant Secretary Brad Crabtree: Reflections on #COP28

Carbon capture is a decades old process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial facilities and power plants. This technology can be used in diverse applications, including ethanol, natural gas processing, gasification, fertilizer, hydrogen, cement, steel, and pulp and paper production.

FECM has completed a multi-year study determining the viability, safety, and reliability of storing pure hydrogen or hydrogen-natural gas blends in different types of underground environments, allowing for much wider regional application.

Decades of research supported by the Department of Energy informed a national strategy to measure and monitor greenhouse gas emissions.

DOE is seeking organizations to join and provide feedback on the Voluntary Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchasing Challenge and its structure to ensure the most benefit to participating carbon dioxide removal credit buyers and suppliers.

Carbon capture is a significant part of the solution to decarbonizing industry, which accounts for approximately 30 percent of total global carbon dioxide emissions.

Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working to change that through new efforts to understand and predict the amount of methane and carbon dioxide coming from hydropower reservoirs across the United States.

FECM and NETL, in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin, completed a Gulf of Mexico drilling and coring expedition as part of DOE’s methane hydrates research and development program.
