A lower-risk pathway from concept to commercialization through credible, real-world data
The National Carbon Capture Center provides a cost-effective, lower-risk pathway from concept to commercialization by generating credible performance and operating data under representative industrial conditions. Developers can validate performance, assess long-term operability and gain insights needed to support scale-up decisions.
What Developers Gain
- Validated carbon capture performance under representative industrial flue gas conditions
- Insights into operability, maintainability and reliability
- Data to inform engineering improvements and scale-up planning
- A clearer understanding of balance-of-plant integration requirements
Key Questions We Help Answer
- Can the technology operate reliably under real flue gas conditions?
- How does it integrate with utilities and balance-of-plant systems?
- What operational or maintenance challenges emerge during extended-duration testing?
- What data are needed to support design updates, partner engagement and scale-up planning?
How the Process Works
- Initial discussions
- Screening and planning
- Integration and onboarding
- Test execution
- Data review and next steps
Who Should Engage
The NCCC is built for developers of point-source carbon capture technologies preparing for larger demonstration or commercial deployment.
Support You’ll Have
Developers work directly with experienced engineering, operations and project management teams — the people who ensure that each test campaign is conducted safely and effectively.
