Cash-Infused Carbon Capture Office Expands DOE’s Climate Mission
The Biden administration has revived and rebranded the Energy Department’s fossil energy office to take a fresh approach at advancing beleaguered carbon technology, backed by billions of dollars approved by Congress and mid-century climate goals.
The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will link carbon capture, transportation, storage, long-term monitoring, and environmental justice into one comprehensive carbon strategy that is tied to climate goals, DOE officials said. So far, it’s unveiled a new mission statement, tapped carbon experts to fill top posts, created a division to study carbon dioxide pipelines, pledged to advance carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere, and targeted industrial sources of carbon beyond electricity generation.

CO2-Free Natural Gas? CCS Project Powers Grid for First Time
A Texas natural gas plant has delivered emissions-free electricity to the grid for the “first time anywhere in the world” for this kind of technology, according to an announcement yesterday from clean energy company Net Power LLC.
The company said its natural gas test project in La Porte, Texas, exported enough energy to power more than 1,000 homes during a first-time grid synchronization — calling the delivery a “major milestone for the energy industry.”
"This is a Wright-brothers-first-flight kind of breakthrough for energy — zero-emission, low-cost electricity delivered to the grid from natural gas-fueled technology,"" Net Power CEO Ron DeGregorio said in a statement yesterday.
