Cooperative Agreement DEEE0011203

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) provides $7,460,680.00 to Noble Thermodynamic Systems Inc. to demonstrate the performance, emissions, and cost characteristics of its Argon Power Cycle (APC) technology as a hydrogen-fueled Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. The goal is to show the APC's ability to maintain high efficiency, flexibility, and zero-NOx emissions as it adjusts to varying industrial-grade process heat and electricity demands. This project aims to enable the decarbonization of the U.S. industrial and power sectors by improving the efficiency and retrofittability of existing reciprocating engine assets, supporting the buildout of renewable hydrogen infrastructure, enhancing the U.S. industrial sector's cost competitiveness, and improving grid resiliency. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025.
