Noah Deich

United States Department of Energy

Sr. Advisor

Mr. Noah Deich is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Carbon Management in the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM). In this role, he oversees FECM’s Carbon Management program, which focuses on minimizing the climate and environmental impacts of fossil energy through technology pathways including carbon capture, carbon dioxide (CO2) removal, CO2 conversion into products, reliable CO2 storage, and hydrogen production with carbon management. Mr. Deich joined FECM from Carbon180, which he co-founded to catalyze the development of a portfolio of carbon removal solutions. Prior to that, he was an economic and management consultant with Accenture and ICF international, where he gained experience in many fields including environmental market and carbon offset modeling and renewable and fossil energy power plants valuations.

    What Are the Realistic Cost Trajectories for DAC & CCUS?
    Clean Tech

    The expected growth in new DAC and CCUS projects over the coming years could assist cost reduction through enabling efficient supply chains and standardizing designs and approval processes. However, challenges arising from supply bottlenecks as projects expand can also lead to inflation and delays. What are the forces driving costs for DAC and CCUS as they scale? Are there any breakthroughs in underlying technologies or manufacturing that have potential to truly reduce costs? What learning curves apply to process industries like DAC and CCUS and how might cost trajectories overall compare with renewables?
