The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $200,000 project grant under its Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to Global Algae Innovations, Inc., a for-profit small disadvantaged business, to conduct research and development on aqueous algae oil extraction. The grant, awarded on July 22, 2024, aims to develop innovative technologies for large-scale algae cultivation and utilize algae to capture CO2 from industrial sources or directly from the air. Global...

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development), supports the development of a novel agricultural technology based on cultivating nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria ('blue-green' microalgae). The key objectives are to select high-productivity cyanobacteria strains, harvest the biomass using simple methods, and test the application of the biomass as organic fertilizers,...

This $1,248,841 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program aims to leverage Helios-NRG's multi-stage continuous algae-based process to transform brewery off-gas CO2 emissions into algae biomass for use in animal feeds. The project seeks to reduce CO2 emissions from industrial sources, enable sustainable use of algae-derived components in the growing fish...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Mvmnt-X, Inc. in Mountain View, CA will develop a new class of illumination methods to enable an ultra-high density, high efficiency microalgae hybrid-photobioreactor scrubber for reactive carbon capture from agricultural waste management systems. The project aims to improve the productivity of microalgae cultivation by delivering natural sunlight within the algae...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award, with ID DEFE0032502, was granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The $1,250,000 award to Global Algae Innovations, Inc. aims to develop and demonstrate the algal oil extraction and fatty acid separation process at engineering-scale, optimize the integrated process for production of algal-based polyurethane consumer products from flue...

This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, aims to demonstrate the sequestration of anthropogenic carbon as a durable and long-lasting bio-asphalt material. The $1,250,017 project, awarded to Arizona State University, combines a novel algae cultivation technology with highly productive extremophile algae to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the...

This $650,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will support the development and testing of a new biomanufacturing process for creating nutraceuticals (plant-based compounds that support human health) and a climate-friendly precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) product at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES). The key objectives are to build and test a...

Espin Technologies, Inc. was awarded a $2.7 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) to develop electrospun bipolar membranes incorporating high-performance catalysts for low-cost carbon capture via salt splitting. The three-year award, made on September 30, 2022 under ARPA-E's program to support innovative energy technologies (CFDA #81.135), will support Espin Technologies' work with the National Renewable Energy...

This $519,700 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at The Citadel exploring algal carbon capture potential in high pH laboratory and field-scale systems. The awardee will conduct experiments and develop mathematical models to quantify mixed freshwater algal growth in high pH conditions. The research aims to characterize and model total dissolved inorganic carbon-limited growth,...

The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $2,897,686 cooperative agreement to The Regents of the University of California, Santa Barbara under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA #81.135). The award will support the development of a robust plan to remove at least 0.1 gigatons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere through 2025 by cultivating and sequestering fast-growing macroalgae in the deep ocean. Specifically,...
