The award will support integrating reservoir stimulation and sensing technology to enhance in-situ mining and carbon mineralization through disruptive electro-hydraulic fracturing and distributed fiber-optic sensing....
- The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded Arizona State University $385,000 under a Cooperative Agreement to support the project "Re-mining Red Mud Waste for CO2 Capture and Storage and Critical Element Recovery (RMCCS-CER)" from February 15, 2023 through February 14, 2025. The objective of the project is to use supercritical carbon dioxide to recover critical elements, especially rare earth elements, from aluminum production wastes known as...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E), under the U.S. Department of Energy's CFDA #81.135 program, provides $2,850,265 in funding to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to develop technologies for the production of lithium and nickel from CO2-reactive minerals and rocks while sequestering carbon dioxide. The project, titled "Electrochemical Lithium and Nickel Extraction with Concurrent Carbon Dioxide Mineralization,"...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $500,000 project grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) program on September 22, 2023. The purpose of this 2-year award is to develop an electrochemistry-enabled synthesis process to produce L-amino acid from achiral a-keto acid, using inorganic nitrogen sources such as ammonia and hydroxylamine. This project aims to advance enantioselective electrosynthesis techniques to enable more efficient and...
- Phoenix Tailings, Inc. will provide carbon dioxide gasification of lateritic ore to extract nickel as part of a $1.275 million cooperative agreement award from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E). Through its "CO2 Gone - CO2 Gasification of Ore for Nickel Extraction" project, Phoenix Tailings proposes using a carbon-negative mining process that employs carbon dioxide to extract nickel from lateritic ore. The two-year award beginning April...
- The University of Houston was awarded a $6.8 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (CFDA 81.135) program. The project aims to develop lithium- and transition metal-free high-energy fast-charging batteries to enhance U.S. energy supply chain security. Specifically, the University proposes a battery that will match lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy and power densities...
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded Johns Hopkins University a $1.76 million cooperative agreement from January 2023 to January 2026. The award aims to develop carbon-negative mining of critical elements like manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper from low-grade gangue minerals through energy-efficient electrosynthesis of acid and base using renewable electricity. Johns Hopkins will produce hydrochloric acid via salt splitting to leach targeted metals from minerals such as olivine, brucite and serpentine. Sodium hydroxide will capture carbon dioxide from air to generate sodium carbonate, which will sequentially precipitate metal carbonates and magnesium/iron carbonates. The latter will be remineralized for carbon sequestration. Under a $200,000 subaward, the University of Guelph will work on carbonate titration of metal chlorides and acid leaching of gangue minerals to support this research. The award aligns with ARPA-E's mission to support innovative energy technologies addressing the nation's energy and environmental challenges.
