The Regents of the University of California, operating as UC Berkeley, received a $1.5 million Cooperative Agreement from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) under Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0003240 (Creating Hardened and Durable Fusion First Wall Incorporating Centralized Knowledge [CHADWICK]). The award, issued April 7, 2026, with a completion date of April 6, 2029, funds research and development of a laser furnace technology designed to convert iron ore into iron metal without carbon dioxide emissions. The project will develop semiconductor laser diode-based processes that enable new temperature and pressure conditions to reduce high and low-grade iron ore fines into molten iron metal, with the objective of replacing fossil fuels traditionally used in ironmaking with lasers powered by clean electricity. This research initiative advances ARPA-E's mission to support transformative energy technologies addressing climate change mitigation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The work will be performed at UC Berkeley's facility in Berkeley, California. As a premier public research institution with extensive expertise in materials science and advanced engineering, UC Berkeley is positioned to deliver the sophisticated research and development capabilities required for this high-impact energy technology development project.Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary
