About this award

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), acting through its Shared Services Center, awarded a $899,967 definitive contract to Faraday Technology, Inc. on February 11, 2025, for Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer research on ultra-low-temperature electrolytic carbon dioxide valorization on Mars, under a total small business set-aside.

Faraday Technology is a small business subsidiary of Physical Sciences Inc. Place of performance is Clayton, Ohio. The contract carries a firm fixed price and an ultimate completion date of February 10, 2027.

The University of Texas at San Antonio is a subcontractor under this award. UTSA will conduct catalyst testing to convert gaseous carbon dioxide into polyethylene, beginning with copper-based catalysts previously identified as effective at ethanol formation. The work measures three performance factors: total ethanol production activity, Faradaic efficiency relative to current passed, and catalyst stability. UTSA will also contribute to the design of alpha-scale electrochemical cells for further testing at Faraday.
