Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL): A biomass carbon dioxide capture and removal project at a pulp mill in Alabama.

The overall objectives of this project are to advance development of the following milestones:

The regulatory authorities have the necessary information to determine that the injection location is suitable for geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2);

The public has been informed and the community and stakeholder support has been generated for the project;

The project risk has been evaluated sufficiently to achieve commercial commitments;

All critical permit applications have been submitted;

All necessary engineering work has been completed to achieve financial close and begin executing the project as soon as relevant permits are received from regulatory authorities.

The beneficiaries of this project include the regulatory authorities and stakeholders of the project (investors and CO2 offset counterparties).

The public will also benefit through outreach and engagement designed to enhance education about carbon capture and sequestration and solicit feedback regarding the project.
Funding Goals
THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS FOA IS TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW OR EXPANDED COMMERCIAL-SCALE GEOLOGIC CARBON STORAGE PROJECTS AND ASSOCIATED CARBON DIOXIDE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE, THROUGH A FOCUS ON DETAILED SITE CHARACTERIZATION, PERMITTING, AND CONSTRUCTION STAGES OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. THIS FOA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OPEN FOR FIVE (5) YEARS TO FACILITATE EXPEDITIOUS DEVELOPMENT OF SECURE GEOLOGIC CARBON STORAGE FACILITIES. AS REQUIRED BY THE BIL, THE SELECTION PROCESS WILL GIVE PRIORITY TO PROJECTS WITH SUBSTANTIAL CARBO DIOXIDE STORAGE CAPACITY AND PROJECTS THAT WILL STORE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM MULTIPLE CARBON CAPTURE FACILITIES.
