The...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award with ID DEFE0032504 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 $312,500 award, with a performance period from August 1, 2024 to April 1, 2026, is funding the conceptual design of an oxy-fuel combustion system for retrofitting existing rotary lime kilns. The objective is to enhance the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089), focuses on developing sustainable manufacturing processes for aromatics production from methane. The key objectives include: I) Creating refined process models based on preliminary data; II) Developing a plant design with unit sizing to enable a techno-economic analysis indicating a 15% reduction...

This $86,907,197 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) supports the construction of the first commercial-scale electrochemical cement manufacturing facility in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The project, led by Sublime Systems, Inc., a woman-owned small business, aims to demonstrate a transformational cement production process that replaces carbon-intensive limestone with alternative calcium silicate-based...

This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $17,547,861.00 and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program, aims to advance the technology readiness of solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) systems from TRL 4 to TRL 6. The project will design, install, and demonstrate the operation of a 250 kW SOEC system that can perform steam and co-electrolysis and integrate with an existing...
