As part of this project, WSU is collaborating with the University of New Haven as a subgrantee. Together, they are...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program, CFDA 81.135, provides $2,697,458 to North Carolina State University to develop a distributed system that can convert renewable power, water, and CO2 into transportable and sustainable fuels. The key focus is on creating a highly dynamic, rapidly responsive system that can effectively handle the intermittency challenges of renewable power integration on the...
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $2,073,897 Cooperative Agreement to the Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with UC Berkeley and Princeton University, to develop a transformative modular chemical manufacturing process that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and intermittent electricity/hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbon/low-oxygen organic mixtures. The overall goal is to create a grid-free renewable energy solution that...
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant (CFDA 81.135) to the University of Washington to develop an adaptive catalytic reactor that can store intermittent renewable energy as "green" hydrogen using plastic waste. The proposed technology aims to address the challenges of long-term storage of renewable energy and management of plastic waste. The project will investigate the use of liquid organic hydrogen carriers...
This $4,275,642 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program (CFDA #81.135) to Columbia University for the "GREENWELLS" project. The goal is to develop a membrane-free electrochemical reactor that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into high-purity liquid ethanol fuel. Key objectives include creating a system that can produce over 1 liter of ethanol per day at over 80% purity, while being able to...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 81.135), funds Susteon Inc. to develop an innovative technology platform for producing aviation fuels and other valuable chemicals from CO2 using renewable electricity. The $4,999,500 award aims to pioneer the use of modular, electrically-heated catalytic reactors to efficiently convert CO2 and electricity into liquid hydrocarbons at...
This Cooperative Agreement award was issued by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) program 81.135, to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the amount of $3,076,000. The award, titled "E-CO2LUMN: The Dynamic CO2 Electrolyzer Column", runs from October 1, 2024 through March 30, 2027. The project aims to develop a novel CO2 electrolyzer prototype that can produce high-concentration liquid fuels with lower...
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has awarded a $2,339,828 Cooperative Agreement to Emvolon, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, under the ARPA-E GREENWELLS program (CFDA 81.135). The funding will support the development of a dynamically operable chemical reactor system capable of converting intermittent renewable electricity, such as wind and solar power, into storable carbon-containing liquid fuels. The primary objective is to...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program under CFDA 81.135 provides $736,200 to Northeastern University to demonstrate the conversion of dilute CO2 (400 ppm) to ethanol using novel Taylor-flow reactors. The key objectives are to achieve at least 60% selectivity (Faradaic efficiency) at a maximum 2V of full cell voltage, develop a long-lasting anion exchange membrane, and scale up the complete process to convert renewable electricity...
This $3,784,848 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), under the CFDA program 81.135 "Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy", supports a multi-institutional collaboration to demonstrate a 5 kW prototype renewable propane production system using CO2 electrolysis. The lead awardee is Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), working with partners GTI Energy, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), Propane Education and...
