The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has awarded a $4,994,678 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) to Onboard Dynamics LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Bend, Oregon. The award, funded under the Inflation Reduction Act, aims to incorporate new functionality into Onboard Dynamics' current GOVAC system. This will enable natural gas producers to capture methane that would traditionally be vented to the atmosphere during liquid unloading operations from wellbores. The project, with a period of performance from January 15, 2025 to September 30, 2028, is focused on developing innovative technologies to mitigate methane emissions in the energy sector. This federal grant award builds on Onboard Dynamics' previous work in advanced methane management systems, including a sub-grant agreement with ASRC Consulting & Environmental Services, LLC for compressor systems, refueling systems, and operator training.
