Strategic Planning, Coordination, and RD&D Priorities for National At-Scale CO2 Transport Infrastructure
Publication: ASCE Inspire 2023
ABSTRACT
The Biden–Harris Administration’s decarbonization targets require strategic planning, coordination, and accelerated development of a nation-wide CO2 transport infrastructure to support carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L 117-58 (November 15, 2021), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the Inflation Reduction Act, Pub. L 117-169 (August 16, 2022), the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) is supporting the development of multi-modal CO2 transport options that consider societal impact and community engagement needs. To date, DOE FECM-sponsored workshops have identified CO2 transportation research areas and recommendations related to CO2 Freight Transport, New and Existing Infrastructure, and a Roadmap for CO2 Transport Applied Research. Activities under the BIL include front-end engineering and design studies for CO2 transport infrastructure, infrastructure deployment, and repurposing through the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program, and investment in upsizing future infrastructure through the Future Growth Grants program. Capturing and leveraging lessons learned from CCUS projects and interagency and international collaboration efforts is desired to efficiently implement a nation-wide CO2 transport infrastructure.
