This Department of Energy grant is for establishing government-industry partnerships to advance offshore geologic CO2 storage in the Gulf of Mexico. The initiative aims to build a comprehensive knowledge base crucial for secure, long-term, and large-scale carbon dioxide storage, potentially with enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Successful projects will identify and address critical knowledge gaps, regulatory hurdles, infrastructure needs, and technical challenges associated with offshore CO2 sequestration. This funding opportunity seeks to integrate findings from ongoing resource assessment projects and leverage practical experience from existing Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships and international collaborations already engaged in offshore CO2 storage. The ultimate goal is to facilitate widespread adoption of offshore carbon management technologies.

| Description: | This FOA seeks applications to facilitate offshore geologic storage of CO2 in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) by creating government-industry partnership(s) that are focused on assembling the knowledge base required for secure, long-term, large-scale CO2 storage, with or without enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Successful partnership(s) will identify and address knowledge gaps, regulatory issues, infrastructure requirements, and technical challenges associated with offshore CO2 storage. It is anticipated that project(s) awarded under this FOA will incorporate the information obtained by several ongoing projects awarded under DE-FOA-0001246, “Offshore Storage Resource Assessment,” and will build upon the practical knowledge and experience gained by the existing RCSPs and previous projects (mostly international collaborations) that are already storing CO2 in offshore geologic reservoirs. |
