The state of California has released a call for proposals to create a "clean energy economy" that will help the state reach its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, the Los Angeles Times reports.
According to a solicitation posted on the state's website, the Department of Energy will be looking for technologies that can capture carbon emissions from power plants and use them to produce clean energy.
"California has a unique opportunity to create a clean energy economy that will create jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make California a world leader in clean energy," Gov.
Jerry Brown said in a statement.
The solicitation calls for technologies that can capture carbon emissions from power plants and use them to produce clean energy.
"However, there is a need to remove legacy emissions, and scalable DAC technologies offer a viable solution to reaching carbon neutrality since the capture performance can be easily measured and verified," the solicitation states.
"The purpose of this solicitation is to advance the technical, economic, and environmental viability of innovative DAC technologies to meet the state's carbon neutrality goals."
