A lower-risk pathway from concept to commercialization through credible, real-world data
The National Carbon Capture Center accelerates commercialization of technologies that reduce emissions from power and industrial sources by providing a neutral site to test under real-world operating conditions.
What Developers Gain
- Performance validation under real flue gas conditions
- Operating experience across extended runs
- Engineering insights to guide design updates
- Credible data to support partner and sponsor engagement
- A stronger foundation for scale-up planning
Who Should Engage
The NCCC is built for developers of point-source carbon capture technologies preparing for larger demonstration or commercial deployment.
Key Questions We Help Answer
- Can the technology run reliably in a real plant environment?
- How does it integrate with utilities and balance-of-plant systems?
- What operating or maintenance issues appear over longer runs?
- What data will support next steps — design updates, partner conversations, scale-up plans?
How the Process Works
- Initial discussions
- Screening and planning
- Integration and onboarding
- Test execution
- Data review and next steps
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.
