This award is part of the Fossil Energy...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $400,000 over 3 years to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a novel self-powered multimodal MEMS sensor system that can simultaneously detect pH, pressure, and temperature in marine environments. The researchers aim to create an innovative, highly sensitive, and energy-efficient sensor to support marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) efforts by providing uninterrupted,...

This $622,016 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative development of a novel self-powered, multimodal pH, pressure, and temperature MEMS sensor system for marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) monitoring. The project involves researchers from the University of North Texas, University of Michigan, and University of California San Diego working to design, fabricate, and test this innovative sensor array to provide...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,824,449 Cooperative Agreement on January 17, 2025 to Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. (ACT) under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089). The project, titled "Efficient Compact Combustors for Methane Mitigation (ECOMM)", aims to mature the technology by demonstrating its long-term operation, material durability, and sustained performance for different methane emissions...

The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $7,500,691 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) on January 15, 2025. The overall goal of this award is to develop and commercialize a technology to reduce methane (CH4) emissions from gas engine exhaust, with a focus on making the technology robust to sulfur dioxide (SO2). The project aims to field test a permanent...

Grant Award Summary Colorado School of Mines received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) for the SCOPE CO2 project, awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2028.
