Notice of Intent Regarding Launching a Carbon Transport Research, Development and Demonstration Consortium

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), Department of Energy (DOE), is issuing this NOI to notify interested parties of its intent to launch a "Carbon Transport Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Consortium (the Consortium)" to identify and coordinate carbon transport RD&D efforts (e.g., pipeline, rail, truck, ship, and barge transportation); facilitate communication among stakeholders; and compile and curate information in an open access platform. The DOE initially sought input from stakeholders through a Request for Information DE-FOA-0003330 (RFI 3330) (www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/ default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2ffedconnect%2f%3fdoc%3dDE-FOA- 0003330%26agency%3dDOE&doc=DE-FOA-0003330&agency=DOE) issued on September 18, 2024. Through this NOI, the DOE is establishing a second opportunity to obtain information that could be used to inform DOE's decisions on the initiation of the Consortium and to gauge interest in participating in the Consortium. FECM intends to launch the Consortium after reviewing responses to RFI 3330 and this NOI. Parties that express interest in joining the Consortium, either through this NOI or through RFI 3330, will be contacted via email with instructions on how to officially register to join.
