Control number 2505-1506 precision combustion, INC

The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $1.777 million cooperative agreement to Precision Combustion, Inc. on May 14, 2026, under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA 81.135). The award funds development of a modular catalytic element system to destroy ventilation air methane (VAM) emissions associated with coal production, combining a short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design; catalyst formulation and loading to minimize operating temperature; and system architecture to maximize heat retention and recirculation between elements. Performance occurs in North Haven, Connecticut, with a completion date of December 13, 2027. This is Phase III additional funding for SBIR Award 1537 under the REMEDY solicitation.

DE-FOA-0002505 remedy sbir/sttr project title: ''destruction of VAM using a modular catalytic element system'' the purpose of this project is to eliminate the release of ventilation air methane (VAM) associated with coal production by developing an innovative modular array combining three key elements: (1) short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design to achieve maximal total conversion in a small volume, (2) catalyst formulation and loading to minimize the required operating temperature of the catalytic oxidation, and (3) system design and architecture to maximize the degree to which released heat is retained and recirculated in between elements.
