The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is a U.S. national laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). NETL focuses on applied research for the clean production and use of domestic energy resources. In 2015, Svante as sub-recipient with NRG Energy Inc. received a $1.1 MM USD Phase 1 award under DE-FOA-0001190 to perform front engineering and design with respect to a large pilot scale carbon capture facility utilizing rapid cycle TSA technology. Multiple projects, advancing with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s National Energy Laboratory (NETL) oversight and financial assistance, have been launched by Svante to evaluate our nano-filter technology and our use as a lower-cost, energy-efficient process for carbon capture applications. In September 2020, NETL, through industry partner Electricore Inc., awarded $1.5 million for cost-shared development to support initial engineering analysis for CO2MENT, a first-of-its-kind commercial project to capture up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year at the Holcim Cement Plant in Florence, Colorado. NETL also awarded $13 million for cost-shared development to support design, construction and operation of a second-of-its-kind engineering-scale (25 tonnes per day) carbon capture plant at Chevron’s Kern River oil field in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Both projects are using the transformational CALF-20 MOF sorbent material, which is being field tested (1 tonne per day CO 2 capture) at Lafarge-Holcim’s CO2MENT Richmond Project based at a cement plant in British Columbia, Canada. Svante’s partnership with NETL also is exploring efforts to decarbonize the production of hydrogen (H2) from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming, which is widely viewed as the lowest-cost, near-term solution to manufacture H2 for use as a clean fuel in a variety of sectors, including transportation. NETL awarded nearly $1.5 million in October 2021 to complete an initial engineering design study to use Svante solid sorbent post-combustion CO2 capture technology at the Linde Steam Methane Reforming Hydrogen Pla ntel.doe.gov
