Cooperative Agreement DEAR0001549

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program provides $299,999,930 to Colorado State University to cost-effectively mitigate methane emissions on marginal conventional oil and gas wells. The objective is to support a collaborative approach to reducing emissions (CARE) from these types of wells through monitoring and mitigation activities. The award...

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $20,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University (CSU) under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The purpose of this 12-month project, titled the "North-Central Methane Center (NCMC)", is to develop consistent, accurate, granular, and transparent multiscale methane emission measurements focused on the North-Central region's producing basins....

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,669,746 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to Colorado State University and Caterpillar Inc. The award, with a performance period from January 15, 2025 to September 30, 2028, is for the development of an ultra-low methane emissions retrofit system for gas compression packages in the natural gas transmission and gathering sectors. This project aims to...

The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded a $511,129 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) from January 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027. The award will support Colorado State University's research into climate-adaptive strategies to establish diverse plantings in dryland conservation areas through the Conservation Reserve Program. As a cooperative agreement, the university will...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has awarded a $1,250,095 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program to Microbio Engineering Inc., a for-profit company located in San Luis Obispo, CA. The funding will support the development of a novel agricultural technology based on cultivating nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria ("blue-green" microalgae). The harvested biomass will be used to produce...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $11,158,273 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines. The primary objective of this CTV III CO2 Storage Project is to provide a safe, effective, and commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) storage solution in the greater San Francisco and Sacramento area. The project aims to advance technologies for capturing,...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $1,250,017 Cooperative Agreement to Arizona State University on August 26, 2024 under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The overall objective is to demonstrate the sequestration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide as a durable and long-lasting bio-asphalt material for roadway construction. The project will combine a novel algae cultivation technology with extremophile...

This $990,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Arizona State University to advance the science and technology of converting carbon dioxide into biofuels. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a fundamental understanding of how nanomaterial-based photocatalysts can be used to efficiently reduce CO2 into carbon monoxide, which can then be converted into longer-chain biofuel compounds by...

This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $250,000 to transform biomass and industrial wastes into low-cost, low-carbon construction materials using negative emission technology (NET). The project, conducted by a consortium of researchers from the University of Alabama, University of New Mexico, University of Idaho, and Alabama A&M University (a Historically Black College and University), aims...

This $491,763 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to transform hazardous industrial waste and biomass into sustainable, low-carbon construction materials using negative emission technology (NET). The project revolves around developing a process to capture and mineralize CO2 from alkaline industrial waste streams, creating calcium-rich compounds that can partially replace Portland cement in concrete. This...
