The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $3,000,000 Cooperative Agreement on October 1, 2024 to North Carolina State University (NC State) under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program. The primary objective of the "CHROME" project is to develop and optimize a novel bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPM-ED) technology to effectively recover kraft chemicals, which will reduce carbon intensity in the pulp and paper industry. As part of this effort, NC State is collaborating with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to develop a new class of thin bipolar membranes with gradual changes in the anion and cation exchange layers. This innovative BPM-ED technology has the potential to provide significant cost savings, increased efficiency, and reduced environmental impact for the pulp and paper industry through sustainable electrochemical pathways with diminished greenhouse gas emissions. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026.
