This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087), provides $1,000,000 in funding to Washington State University (WSU) for renewable energy research and development activities.
The key objectives of the project are to: 1) Develop an improved catalyst formulation with increased conversion efficiency and/or reduced costs through AI-driven catalyst design; 2) Scale up the production of a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) from lab to engineering scale; 3) Demonstrate the engineering-scale reaction can operate continuously for 100 hours; and 4) Assess the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of producing this fuel and its byproducts. WSU is collaborating with the University of New Haven, Incorporated as a subgrantee to support catalyst development and testing. The award period runs from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
