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 dioxide (CO2)
capture technologies that support reliable power generation, as
well as energy-intensive industrial facilities.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and industryleading sponsors, the NCCC supports innovation in next-generation
processes for point-source carbon capture, testing technologies in
a real-world environment and generating the data needed to move
them forward.
Pilot-tested 90+ unique technologies
from developers around the world
Since its establishment in 2009, the NCCC, managed and operated
by Southern Company, has been a hub of success. The center
has hosted over 60 technology developers, both national and
international, and tested more than 90 advanced technologies.
This impressive track record is a testament to the NCCC’s
commitment to delivering results and bringing developers practical
insights leading to technology validation and scale-up.
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 capture processes.
Advancing the commercialization of new materials and processes
for capturing CO2 from industrial operations remains central to
the NCCC’s work — supporting reliable, cost-effective energy
production and informed investment decisions.
