Through this cooperative agreement awarded February 16, 2021 and set to be completed by March 31, 2023, Palo Alto Research Center will develop tunable rapid-uptake...

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...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $22,532,805.00 in funding to Arizona State University to execute planning activities and complete a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for a regional direct air capture (DAC) hub in the Southwest United States. The hub is intended to have an initial capacity of at least 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year,...

TDA Research, Inc. received a $200,000 project grant award from the Department of Energy Office of Science on June 28, 2021 to support development of a new hybrid cryogenic process for a transformational carbon capture process. The project aims to deliver this new carbon capture technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources such as power plants and manufacturing facilities. The funding is provided through the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA...

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...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois a $5 million cooperative agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA #81.089). The award will support the project "Direct Air Capture-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal with United States Low-Carbon Energy and Sinks" from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. Under this cooperative agreement, the University of Illinois will...

Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary Victory Over Carbon, Inc. received a $1.25M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084), effective June 15, 2025, with completion targeted for May 31, 2027. The awardee will develop and deploy a commercial-scale pilot of a novel direct air capture (DAC) system designed to extract atmospheric carbon dioxide at gigaton scale...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Carbon Solutions LLC under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant will support development of a decision-support tool to identify carbon dioxide capture opportunities across the United States energy sector from 2023-2024. The tool aims to facilitate the country's transition to net-zero carbon emissions through profiling capturable CO2 streams and providing the break-even capture cost,...
