Fossil Energy Research and Development

Objective

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s mission is to minimize the environmental and climate impacts of fossil fuel and industrial processes while working to achieve net-zero emissions across the U.S. economy. The Office’s programs use research, development, demonstration, and deployment approaches to advance technologies to reduce carbon emissions and other environmental impacts of fossil fuel production and use, particularly in the hardest-to-decarbonize applications in the electricity and industrial sector. Priority areas of technology work include point-source carbon capture, hydrogen with carbon management, methane emissions reduction, critical mineral production, and atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. The Office works to leverage international expertise to advance global decarbonization and is committed to improving the conditions of communities impacted by the legacy of fossil fuel use while supporting a healthy economic transition that accelerates the growth of good-paying jobs. Finally, the Office supports novel, early-stage research at U.S. colleges and universities.
