This Cooperative Agreement award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), CFDA 81.135, supports a multi-institutional collaborative project led by the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to demonstrate a 5 kW prototype renewable propane production system using a CO2 electrolysis process. The $3,784,848 award, effective September 24, 2024 through September 23, 2027, will fund the development of a system capable of producing 4 kg/day of propane (equivalent to 180 MJ(LHV)/day) with 97% propane selectivity, >50% energy-to-liquid efficiency, and >85% multi-pass carbon yield. The project team includes partners such as GTI Energy, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), and industrial partner SHV Energy.
