Funding Amount: $16,000,000

Background Information

On January 16, 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management announced $13.7 million in federal funding for four projects that will advance large-scale conversion of carbon dioxide emissions into environmentally responsible and economically valuable products. With funding provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, projects will help develop conversion technologies that feasibly produce crucial fuels, building materials, and other carbon-based products from captured carbon emissions.

This funding is provided from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 40302. 

Selectees 

The selected projects will support two areas of focus: (1) engineering-scale testing of electrochemical systems for converting carbon dioxide emissions into value-added products, such as engineering polymer/resin precursors, specialty chemicals, and commodity chemicals; and (2) feasibility studies that examine retrofitting refineries and petrochemical facilities for carbon conversion.

Selectees include:

• Dioxide Materials Inc. 
• Terraforma Carbon LLC 
• Thiozen Inc. 
• Twelve Benefit Corp.

A detailed list of the selected projects can be found here.
