Call for Nominations: Carbon Management Project Awards

Objective

The CEM-MI Carbon Management Project Awards process is organized and implemented under the “Gigatonne by 2030” campaign, run by Clean Energy Ministerial CCUS Initiative (“CEM CCUS”) and Mission Innovation Carbon Dioxide Removal Mission (“MI CDR”).

The objective of the Awards is to showcase and share information from real-life, industrial-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects that have successfully started operation or are demonstrably under construction. By highlighting successful project implementation, the Awards will provide inspiration for other projects to succeed, and increase the global project pipeline.

The project recognition process will support rapid deployment and scaling up of carbon management, helping to achieve the global goal of reaching gigatonne-scale by 2030.

Up to three carbon management projects will receive the Award through this process every year. The winning projects will be invited to present their main features and be given prominence by CEM CCUS and MI CDR, providing the projects with visibility on ministerial level. They will also be invited to knowledge sharing events.

Projects will not receive any financial contribution, nor will any associated costs be reimbursed by the Awards process. No contractual arrangements will be put in place. The Awards do not constitute an official approval of any aspects (environmental, financial etc.) of the project. The Awards are solely intended to showcase the winning projects and their innovative features to the clean energy community.
