This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $300,000 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to collaborate with NASA Ames Research Center on developing new porous sorbents for low-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The goal is to engineer defects in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to increase their CO2 adsorption capacity at low pressures, which will enable more effective CO2 capture and storage...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,724 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant to Mantel Capture, Inc. to optimize the composition of novel molten alkali metal borates for carbon dioxide capture. The goal of this project is to develop a molten salt-based carbon capture system that can be applied to hard-to-abate industries such as industrial heat, cement, steel, and hydrogen production. The research aims to reduce the melting point and working temperature of the...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a direct air capture technology for carbon dioxide sequestration. The university will utilize industrial waste materials and a two-step mineral carbonation method to directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as a stable mineral. This has the potential to offer a low-cost solution for permanent CO2 removal on a...
