DOE launches Carbon Matchmaker to connect CCUS and CDR supply chains

In Washington, the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has launched Carbon Matchmaker, an online information resource to connect users across the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) supply chains.

Carbon Matchmaker will:

·      Enable a teaming mechanism to support geographically diverse CCUS/CDR projects across the United States.

·      Increase awareness and facilitate development of regional carbon management hubs, including alongside hydrogen hub development where relevant.

·      Provide community, industry, and technology development stakeholders domestically and internationally with carbon dioxide supply and demand maps for current and planned projects.

·      Highlight past and currently funded DOE carbon management projects in a geospatial map.

A regional carbon management hub is a network of carbon dioxide sources, potential or actual carbon dioxide end-users, and connective transport infrastructure located in close proximity.
