Southern Company will continue to manage and operate the National Carbon Capture Centre, located in Wilsonville, Alabama, for an additional five years under an agreement with the US Department of Energy and its National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
Created by the DOE in 2009, the facility is working to expand into new areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants and to advance carbon utilisation and direct air capture (DAC) solutions.
Dr. Mark Berry, Southern Company’s Vice-President of R&D, said, “Southern Company has partnered successfully with DOE and NETL to make the National Carbon Capture Centre the nation’s premiere R&D facility for carbon capture technologies.”
