Advancing Technology Solutions
The National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC), a globally recognized
and respected facility, plays a pivotal role in accelerating the
commercial deployment of cost-effective carbon management
technologies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and industryleading sponsors, the NCCC leads the way in pioneering innovations
in next-generation decarbonization processes. The NCCC’s overall
scope of carbon management technology development includes
point-source carbon capture for fossil-based power plants and
various industrial processes, carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion and
CO2 removal.
Pilot-tested 80+ unique technologies
from 50+ technology developers
Since its establishment in 2009, the NCCC, managed and operated
by Southern Company, has been a hub of success. The center
has hosted over 50 technology developers, both national and
international, and tested more than 80 emerging technologies.
This impressive track record is a testament to the NCCC’s unwavering
commitment to delivering results and its potential for future carbon
management breakthroughs.
The NCCC believes in the power of collaboration. The center’s
highly specialized and experienced research engineers and project
managers work directly with third-party technology developers to
test a broad range of CO2 management processes.
Advancing the commercialization of new materials and processes
to remove CO2 from industrial processes and the atmosphere is a
key part of the NCCC’s commitment to meeting future greenhouse
gas emissions goals. This commitment is crucial for the environment,
customers and communities, and helps limit the increased cost of
energy, ensuring a sustainable future for all.
