The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to Calion Technologies, Inc. on September 21, 2023. The grant supports the development of a modular, drop-in air source heat pump replacement for natural gas boilers used for process heating up to 160°F. The technology, known as "zero-GWP air source heat pump steam generation using ionocalorics," aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency....

Innio Waukesha Gas Engines Inc. was awarded a $2.23 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) program. The project aims to develop an ultra-low methane slip reciprocating engine that will reduce methane emissions by 82% while maintaining engine effectiveness over the lifetime of the engine. In addition, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compound, and formaldehyde emissions will be decreased with no effect on nitrogen oxide...

Echogen Power Systems (Delaware), Inc. was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to develop a low-cost particle-to-CO2 moving bed heat exchanger. The Office of Science aims to transform understanding of nature and advance U.S. energy security and economy through scientific discoveries and tools. This award will support Echogen Power Systems' efforts to provide an affordable heat...

Atmoszero, Inc. was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA #81.135).
