The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) of the Department of Energy (DOE) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs – Recurring Program" in late 2024. This initiative aims to commercialize direct air capture (DAC) technologies through the development of four regional hubs. The program will allocate up to $1.8 billion across three funding areas: infrastructure scaling platforms, mid-scale commercial DAC facilities, and large-scale commercial DAC facilities, with federal funding shares varying from $50 million to $600 million and a minimum non-federal cost share of 50%. Key objectives include the design and operation of DAC facilities, overcoming access challenges to clean energy, and supporting community engagement. The program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, seeks to facilitate the advancement of DAC technologies, ensuring that they can capture at least one million metric tons of CO2 annually per hub. Community benefits, environmental considerations, and the development of a skilled workforce will be prioritized. The process anticipates that multiple project openings will allow diverse partnerships and project types, ultimately supporting the transition to a decarbonized energy landscape while addressing economic and social concerns in impacted communities.
