The U.S. Department of Energy's Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089) awarded a $1,619,426 Cooperative Agreement to RTX Corporation's Raytheon Technologies Research Center to advance the technology readiness level of an electrochemically activated oxygen sorbent and reactor system. The project aims to develop a scalable, efficient, and durable electrochemical oxygen separation technology to enable high-quality syngas production and carbon capture for hydrogen production from biomass and waste gasification. Key technical elements include theoretical screening of oxygen carrier materials, experimental testing, small-scale reactor design and evaluation, and techno-economic modeling for scale-up. RTX Corporation is collaborating with UC Irvine, UC Davis, and MIT on the project, which has a performance period from October 2023 to September 2025.
