Innovator Advantages
Technology development and validation are
central to the NCCC mission. Testing at the site
offers a significant economic advantage due
to the NCCC’s co-funding structure with DOE
and industry sponsors. Developers typically incur
minimal costs for using the existing infrastructure
and staff services unless project-specific upgrades
are required.
The NCCC offers technology developers
exceptional support, including access to a highly
trained, experienced staff that collaborates with
governments, technology companies, universities,
industrial companies and startups to accelerate
technologies toward commercial deployment.
Our NCCC team includes:
• Design engineers with R&D scale-up experience
• Research engineers for data collection
and analysis

Third-party technology developers from the
public and private sectors leverage the testing
experience at the facility to refine and scale
up their technologies with confidence. Data
generated at the site has proved reliable and
actionable.
• Project managers overseeing the full project
life cycle
• Experienced operations and maintenance staff
• Contracting and intellectual property
protection support
Technology developers and the NCCC’s team
members have successfully pilot-tested more than
90 unique technologies.
“
Testing at the National Carbon Capture Center
allowed our Proteus and Polaris membranes
to optimize and scale up in a real-world
environment. Lessons learned showed us the
importance of testing with real gases. The
successful NCCC tests have provided us the
confidence to pursue industrial pilots.
