Pre-Commercial Demonstration and Community Engagement Service

The California-based government authority is seeking pre-commercial demonstration and community engagement services to advance carbon dioxide removal technologies. The agency needs to develop and deploy advanced direct air capture technologies through pre-commercial pilot and demonstration projects under real-world conditions. This initiative aims to validate these technologies across a spectrum of pre-commercial maturity levels to improve performance, reduce costs, and support large-scale deployment. The scope of work covers activities essential to improving the feasibility, effectiveness, and environmental performance of direct air capture systems. All project tasks must be performed offsite. The agency limits eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. Regarding the budget, the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine funding and costs. The source document does not specify the evaluation criteria or key project dates.
