Final Technical Report Nuclear Direct Air Capture with Carbon Storage (NuDACCS)

Summary

This report details a completed Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study addressing the critical challenge of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide to combat climate change. The project explored the technical and economic feasibility of integrating a Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility with a nuclear power plant (Plant Farley, Alabama) to leverage carbon-free energy for capture operations and enable geological carbon storage. The study concluded that such an integration is technically feasible, providing comprehensive designs, economic analyses, life cycle assessments, and socio-economic evaluations, including a Justice40 assessment, to guide future deployment efforts.
