U.S. Department of Energy Offers Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Future Growth Grants

This Request for Information is to help inform DOE’s implementation of Future Growth Grants in the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (CIFIA) Program, which is authorized and appropriated in Section 40304 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The purpose of the CIFIA Program is to provide direct loans and loan guarantees (CIFIA Loans) and Future Growth Grants that will support the development of regional and national CO2 transport networks and infrastructure to accelerate the deployment and development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. Specifically, Future Growth Grants may cover at least a portion of upfront costs for developing extra transport capacity that would not typically be constructed under the current open-season approach which is based on contracted demand.
