National Carbon Capture Center

We Advance Carbon Capture Technologies Toward Commercial Readiness

We Bridge the Gap Between the Laboratory and Large-Scale Demonstrations

We Serve as the U.S. Department of Energy’s Primary Carbon Capture Research Facility

Established by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by Southern Company, the NCCC is a neutral test site where new carbon capture technologies meet real power and industrial operating conditions – and where the data needed for confident scale-up is generated.
