The system is expected to separate 250,000 tonnes per year net CO 2 from ambient air, and transport the CO 2 by pipeline to an underground geological formation in Illinois for dedicated and permanent storage. Nuclear Powered DAC Project in Illinois - The Constellation (Baltimore, Maryland) project team will examine the technical and commercial viability of a DAC and sequestration system developed by Carbon Engineering, co-located with an existing light water nuclear reactor at Constellation’s Byron Generating Station in Byron, Illinois.

The study also will analyze the project’s impact on environmental justice and the regional economy.ĭOE Funding: $2,495,197 Non-DOE Funding: $643,904 Total Value: $3,139,101 The DAC system is strategically located near the proposed geological storage site in California’s Southern Central Valley. FEED Study for Climeworks Direct Air Capture at a California Geothermal Facility with Long-Term Storage - The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois (Champaign, Illinois) project team will complete a front-end engineering design (FEED) study of an advanced direct air capture (DAC) system developed by Climeworks that will leverage thermal energy from the Brawley Geothermal Plant in Brawley, California, using a selective filter to separate carbon dioxide (CO 2) from ambient air.
