The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to complete a project focused on developing a Direct Air Capture (DAC) system that would integrate with existing technology to deliver 20% of the carbon dioxide required for algae cultivation. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs). BP1 would involve the initial verification of the project proposal by DOE. BP2 would include design, construction, and initial testing of a mobile DAC unit that would allow testing under laboratory conditions at an existing biorefinery facility. BP3 would include integrating and operating the DAC system with existing infrastructure at an existing biorefinery facility.
