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 (CFDA 81.089) program, is funding a $36,864,167 project to advance the development of a biomass carbon dioxide capture and removal system at a pulp mill in Alabama. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) gather the necessary information to determine the suitability of the CO2 injection location for geologic storage, 2)...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Rushnu Inc. will develop a commercially viable continuous carbon capture and mineralization system. The project aims to improve the single-pass capture and mineralization rate and optimize solvent recovery to enable cost-effective capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emission sources and transform it into value-added products. This will help the industrial...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, supports the development of a light-based, energy-generating carbon removal process. The $274,094 award to Banyu Carbon Inc. aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering or reusing captured carbon dioxide. Key objectives include improving the resistance of the proprietary photoacid catalyst to degradation and replacing expensive...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $2,073,897 Cooperative Agreement to the Georgia Institute of Technology, in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, and Princeton University, to develop a transformative modular chemical manufacturing process that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and intermittent electricity and hydrogen (H2) into a liquid hydrocarbon/low-oxygen organic mixture. The overall goal is to create a...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $272,488.00 to Victory Over Carbon, Inc. to develop a novel direct air carbon capture technology.
