The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) awarded a $46,594,001 Cooperative Agreement to Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company, LLC (NDP) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations federal grant program (CFDA #81.255). The project aims to implement a novel membrane technology developed by Via Separations to address the energy-intensive thermal process of concentrating black liquor, a lignin byproduct of the kraft pulping process, at NDP's facility in Longview, WA. The funding will support the large-scale demonstration and validation of this innovative clean energy technology, with the goal of reducing technical and financial risks and catalyzing private sector investment in this transformative solution. The project has a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2030.
