The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $1,250,000 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086). This 1-year award, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research and development of high-thermal conductivity metallic compounds for industrial heat decarbonization. The goal is to advance innovative energy efficiency and decarbonization technologies that can help...
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, awarded a $19,777,436 Cooperative Agreement to Magnolia Sequestration Hub, LLC to conduct a feasibility assessment of an integrated carbon storage project in the Lake Charles area of Louisiana. The project aims to advance the commerciality of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in the region by characterizing a potential carbon storage site...
Under a $4,997,015 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency (CFDA 81.135), the University of Texas at Austin proposes to conduct an in-situ test of carbon-negative reaction-driven cracking techniques to enhance mineral recovery. The key products and services to be delivered include: Injecting CO2 dissolved in water to permanently sequester CO2 via carbon-negative reactions. Chemically fracturing rock through reaction-driven cracking to reduce...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $22,532,805.00, was granted by the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The award seeks to develop and demonstrate a regional direct air capture (DAC) hub in the Southwest United States with an initial capacity of at least 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, scalable to 1,000,000 tonnes per year. The key...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $20,000,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin to collect, synthesize, and publicly disseminate multi-scale methane emissions data from the Northeast United States. The key objectives are to: 1) Design and deploy consistent, accurate, and transparent methane emissions measurement systems across varied...
