Fossil Energy Research and Development

 

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Managements mission is to minimize the environmental impacts of fossil fuels while working towards net-zero emissions. The Offices 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 sectors of electricity and industrial. 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, is committed to improving the conditions of communities impacted by the legacy of fossil fuel use, and supports a healthy economic transition that accelerates the growth of good-paying jobs.
