Sutter Decarbonization Project, Yuba City, California
The Sutter Decarbonization Project will demonstrate and deploy a commercial- scale carbon capture system at the Sutter Energy Center, a 550 MWe natural gas fuelled combined cycle power plant. The project will
and sequester it permanently more than a half a mile underground in saline geologic formations. This project will be the first in the world to deploy an air-cooling system at a carbon capture facility, which will eliminate the use of cooling water and significantly reduce freshwater usage—a critical concern of the local community.
employ ION Clean Energy’s post-combustion capture technology. The plan is to transport the CO2
Negotiation of a Project Labor Agreement is underway and the project plans to engage with local and statewide labour organisations and educational institutions to secure qualified and highly skilled craft labour. The project also plans to negotiate a robust Community Benefits Agreement.
In summer 2023, Calpine launched the first- in-California carbon capture demonstration, Project Enterprise at Los Medanos Energy Center
The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations portfolio: funding in excess of $35 billion
The United States Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) was established in December 2021 to help scale the emerging technologies needed to tackle the most pressing climate challenges and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. OCED is managing more than $25 billion in funding to deliver clean energy demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonised energy system.
