The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $6,941,566 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089) to Aris Water Solutions, Inc. of Houston, TX. The project aims to advance research on the beneficial reuse of produced water in the Permian Basin. Key objectives include developing cost-effective treatment methods to valorize resources in produced water, generate data to support regulations, reduce volumes of water injected into disposal wells, and create a new source of water for agriculture and other uses. The project will conduct field trials on the use of desalinated produced water as an irrigation source for non-consumptive agriculture, as well as adjacencies for ammonia mining and carbon sequestration. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
