Abstract
The University of Illinois, in partnership with Visage Energy, CarbonCapture Inc., Ecotek Engineering, U.S. Steel Corporation, Ozinga, and CarbonCure Technologies, will execute and complete a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study of a direct air capture, utilization, and storage (DACUS) system that is capable of removing a minimum of 5,000 tonnes/year net carbon dioxide (CO2) from air (based on cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis [LCA]) and utilizing the CO2 to produce low-carbon intensity ready-mix concrete. The DACUS will consist of CarbonCapture’s DAC system and CarbonCure’s CO2 utilization technology. The waste heat utilized by the DAC system will be supplied by U.S. Steel’s Gary Works located in Gary, Indiana, and the CO2 will be used by the CarbonCure technology installed at multiple Ozinga concrete facilities. The project will also complete a Business Case Analysis (BCA), Technology Maturation Plan (TMP), LCA, Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Analysis, Environmental Justice Analysis, Economic Revitalization and Job Creation Outcomes Analysis, and Workforce Readiness Plan. This project will enable the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to better understand system costs and performance, as well as business case options for DAC technologies integrated with an industrial facility. The project will provide a basis for the subsequent deployment of DAC systems to support the United States in achieving a carbon emissions-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero carbon economy by 2050. Additionally, this project will help promote the creation of clean energy or manufacturing jobs located in power plant or industrial communities that are economically distressed and/or have been disproportionately harmed by adverse environmental impacts of the energy industry.
