Program Information: The Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will provide grants for university training and research, to provide training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students who will provide the human capital and skills required for implementing and deploying Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. Fundamental research is needed to advance science in:

• simulation and risk assessment;
• monitoring, verification, and accounting;
• geological related analytical tools;
• methods to interpret geophysical models; 
• CO2 capture; 
• well completion and integrity;
• water production/clean-up/alternative use.

Grant Information: The FOA will define eligibility in 2 categories: (1) all universities; (2) Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI). DOE envisions making multiple financial assistance awards in the form of grants.
