Department of Energy Offers Grant for Regional Initiative on Carbon Transport, Storage, and Community Engagement

This Department of Energy grant is for the Regional Initiative for Technical Assistance Partnerships (RITAP), aiming to advance the deployment of basin-scale carbon transport and storage. Building on existing knowledge, this initiative addresses unique challenges associated with developing multiple Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and carbon management projects within a single geologic basin. It seeks to resolve issues like pressure interference between storage facilities, conflicts over pore space and mineral rights, transportation rights-of-way, and complex regulatory jurisdictions. The funded projects will serve as a valuable public information resource, assisting carbon storage developers in overcoming these challenges and enabling affected communities to actively participate in resolution processes, fostering sustainable carbon management.

Description:	This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Issue Funding Opportunity Announcement no. DE-FOA-0003014 Regional Initiative for Technical Assistance Partnerships (RITAP) to Advance Deployment of Basin-Scale Carbon Transport and Storage and Community Engagement. The projects funded under FOA-3014 (RITAP) will build on the knowledge and experience gained through past and current efforts to address the unique challenges and opportunities of multiple CCUS and storage-based CM projects developed within a single geologic basin or sub-basin. Challenges may include pressure interference among neighboring storage facilities, pore space and mineral rights conflicts, transportation rights-of way, diverse regulatory jurisdictions, etc. The projects would provide a valuable public information resource for developers of carbon storage sites that need assistance in addressing these challenges and affected communities that seek to participate in the resolution of these challenges. DISCLAIMER: This Notice of Intent is for informational purposes only. This is solely a Notice of Intent and is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement. The Department of Energy is not accepting applications under this Notice of Intent.
