PNNL researchers recently developed a capture solvent that breaks the long-standing $50/tonne CO 2 cost barrier. This work enables us to partner with industry under DOE’s Fossil Energy Carbon Capture program to improve existing capture technologies. PNNL focuses its research for DOE’s Basic Energy Sciences separations program on understanding the fundamental processes that govern CO 2 behaviors at a molecular level. In support of the DOE Office of Science and Office of Fossil Energy missions, PNNL researchers have been working for more than 15 years to unlock fundamental discoveries and transform them into technological solutions for carbon capture. Senior Research Scientist David Heldebrant discusses clean fossil energy, where carbon emissions come from, how to remove carbon emissions, how PNNL is helping to reduce carbon emissions, and how society will benefit from this research.
