Key products and services to be delivered include: The University of Wisconsin-Madison will use thermochemical...

The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $2.278 million cooperative agreement to the University of Michigan under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA 81.135) to provide quantitative characterization of methane sources and demonstrate high-efficiency methane conversion technology at an oil and gas field site. Through the three-year project period from November 2022 to October 2025, the University of Michigan will work with sub-awardee Southwest...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $5,169,188.00, was granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The goal of the project is to reduce methane emissions to near-zero levels from lean burn two-stroke integral compressor engines in natural gas pipelines through the field deployment of new low methane technology. The award recipient, Texas A&M...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $7,500,000.00 and awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development), aims to demonstrate at-scale a methane oxidation catalyst (MOC) system with the longevity and performance required for widespread adoption in oil and gas applications utilizing natural gas engines. The project will use an electrically heated substrate to maintain the MOC in a...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, aims to develop and commercialize a methane emission reduction technology for gas engine exhaust. The $7,500,691 award, effective January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will support The University of Kentucky Research Foundation in field testing a permanent methane emissions elimination...

This $7,499,101 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology focuses on accelerating the commercialization, scale-up, and field deployment of innovative methane emissions reduction technologies. The project aims to provide a cost-effective solution for mitigating methane slip from flaring and non-safety-related venting...

This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089), provides $6,349,734 to the Institute of Gas Technology (GTI Energy) to deploy and test a novel, low-cost linear motor methane mitigation compressor. The primary objective is to capture a wide variety of methane leaks across the natural gas value chain, including from reciprocating compressors and pneumatic...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $7,500,000 in funding to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The project aims to dramatically improve the catalytic activity and stability of palladium-based catalysts for methane oxidation, with the goal of achieving "near zero emissions" of methane from natural gas generators at gas...

Marquette University will receive $550,224 over three years from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) through a Project Grant award to study biomass char particle morphology during gasification. Specifically, the University will perform direct three-dimensional pore-resolving simulations for hundreds of biomass char particles from various feedstocks that will be imaged using high-resolution X-ray microcomputed tomography. This will provide insights into how real...

This $20,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program aims to develop consistent, accurate, and transparent multi-scale methane emission measurements in the North-Central U.S. region. The key objectives are to: Collect, validate, and disseminate point source to regional-scale methane emission inventories using both top-down and bottom-up approaches...
