Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) is a cornerstone of U.S. innovation in advancing fossil energy technology solutions. Bridging the gap between laboratory research and large-scale demonstrations, the NCCC evaluates carbon capture processes from third-party developers, focusing on the early-stage development of the most promising, cost-effective technologies for future commercial deployment. Since its creation in 2009, the center has achieved more than 100,000 hours of technology testing, with research through mid-2017 focused on post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO□ ) capture, gasification, and pre-combustion CO□ capture technologies. After completing more than 25 projects in the gasification and pre-combustion carbon capture areas, the NCCC concluded this work in response to changes in the project scope to focus more on post-combustion capture for natural gas and coal power generation. As the demand for post-combustion CO□ capture options grows, work in this area continues to bring new technologies closer to the marketplace.
