The National Carbon Capture Center operates as a cost-shared, public-private partnership supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and industry. Additionally, we have sponsorship agreements with leaders in the energy industry who participate in our research, provide cost-sharing, offer industry perspectives and give technical guidance. Sponsors contribute cost share, technical engagement and industry perspective in exchange for direct insight into technology performance.

Why Sponsors Participate

Sponsors join the NCCC to see what’s hard to see anywhere else: how technologies really perform under real flue gas conditions, straight from the technology developers running the tests and advancing the technologies.

What Sponsors Gain

  • Timely evaluation summaries you can share internally
  • Direct conversations with the NCCC’s technical team
  • Regular review touchpoints with DOE, Southern Company and developers
  • Reporting that informs internal investment and planning decisions
  • Engagement with developers across the technology readiness spectrum — including systems close to commercial deployment
