Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure

From US Department of Energy (DOE)

The Loan Programs Office (LPO), in partnership with DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), offers access to capital for large-capacity, common-carrier carbon dioxide (CO2) transport projects (e.g., pipelines, rail, shipping, and other transport methods) under the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (CIFIA). CIFIA was created to finance projects that build shared (i.e., common carrier) transport infrastructure to move CO2 from points of capture to conversion facilities and/or storage wells. This CO2 transport infrastructure will provide economies of scale and help form an interconnected carbon management ecosystem in the United States.
