Cooperative Agreement DEEE0010906

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) aims to demonstrate the viability and positive impacts of an innovative mechanical vapor recompression steam-generating heat pump (MVR SGHP) technology. The $15,316,593 project, awarded to Skyven Technologies, Inc., seeks to address the standardization and economy-of-scale challenges that have prevented broad adoption...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253), supports the establishment of a domestic production capacity of at least 10,000 cold climate air-to-air heat pumps, 5,000 geothermal water-to-air heat pumps, and 100 high-capacity cold climate air-to-water heat pumps annually. These products are designed to provide an efficiency increase of 25-75% compared to...

This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a new sub-kelvin refrigerator using superfluid helium vortex cooling. Funded under the Engineering (47.041) program, Yale University will analyze, design, build a prototype, and benchmark a two-stage cooling system combining a superfluid vortex cooler and Joule-Thomson precooler. The system aims to achieve high-capacity cooling below 1K without using helium-3, addressing stockpile depletion issues. By...

The primary awardee, Echogen Power Systems (Delaware), Inc., is a for-profit technology company based in Akron, Ohio that specializes in advanced energy technologies, particularly...

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $4,443,737 Cooperative Agreement to Atmoszero, Inc. under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The award will support the development of a "Flexible Industrial Heat Pump for Simultaneous Refrigeration and Steam Production" over the period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. The project aims to advance energy efficiency, decarbonization, and...

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). The two-year grant will support the development of heat pump technologies to decarbonize industrial steam production. Over 25% of U.S. manufacturing energy consumption is used to generate process steam, totaling nearly 4 quadrillion BTUs annually. While electrification could help...

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089), is focused on the field deployment, validation, and commercialization of a low-cost emissions reduction retrofit kit for integral reciprocating compressors (IRCs) used in the natural gas industry. The $4,832,880 award to the University of Oklahoma aims to deliver a transformative solution that...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program, is funding research and development on the cost-effective integration of phase change material (PCM) thermal energy storage and wet compression for high-efficiency industrial heat pumps. The total funding amount is $1,800,065.00, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August...

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....

This $812,500 Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087), aims to develop an integrated cascaded heat exchanger system that can efficiently generate both electricity through a supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle and industrial process heat. Key objectives include improving particle-side heat transfer, demonstrating the primary heat exchanger design,...
