The Office of Carbon Management invests in research, development, demonstration, and deployment projects with a focus on early-stage research, development, and demonstration and breakthrough technologies that support and produce an abundance of domestic fossil energy. The office also leverages analysis and leads in strategic activities and international and intra-governmental coordination.
Priority technology areas include:
- Advanced energy systems focuses on power systems, efficiency improvement, workforce and skills development, and fuel flexibility to support efforts to provide low-cost, resilient, and flexible power. The program technologies include natural gas turbines; materials; gasification systems; sensors, controls, and other novel concepts; and simulation-based engineering.
- Transport and storage focuses on de-risking, lowering costs, and optimizing performance for enhanced oil and gas recovery transport and storage projects.
- Conversion and value-added products focuses on cutting-edge oil, natural gas, and coal by-product conversion.
- Point-source capture focuses on optimizing cost, performance, and reliability of point-source capture technologies for coal.
