This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255), provides $500,000,000 in funding to Century Aluminum Co to commence commercial operations of a new primary aluminum smelting and processing facility. The key objectives of the project include: Commissioning and successfully testing a new 500,000 ton per year aluminum smelting facility that integrates best-in-class commercial technology and the ability to use...

This $600,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA #81.121) funds research at the University of California, Berkeley to establish standardized testing methodologies and guidelines for assessing the degradation of nuclear fuel pebbles under extreme reactor conditions. The University will develop compression, hardness, and three-point bend tests on fuel pebble samples and deposit testing data in a common...

This $10,950,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) aims to accelerate the domestic manufacturing of Pajarito Powder's durable engineered catalyst support (ECS) materials and supported Pt and Pt alloy-based catalysts. The project will scale up production from 30 g/day to 4 kg/day, advancing the technology readiness level from 4 to...

The Cooperative Agreement award of $29,681,912 from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) supports the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project led by Battelle Memorial Institute. ARCH2 will develop ten hydrogen production facilities, one hydrogen storage facility with connected pipelines, and offtake capability for multiple hydrogen end-users. The project will use a variety of hydrogen production methods, including auto-thermal...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, issued by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089), provides $6,250,000 in funding to The Ohio State University to conduct engineering-scale testing of its transformational membrane technology for carbon dioxide capture from natural gas combined cycle flue gas. The key objectives are to: 1) repurpose and modify an existing 5 tonne per day...

This $8,751,655 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) aims to demonstrate the recipient's carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system at an industrial glass production facility. The project will address operational challenges associated with glass production, such as moisture condensation, sulfur dioxide removal, and solvent viscosity issues. The effort will culminate in the...

The Department of Energy awarded TDA Research, Inc. a $49,032,200 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to design, build, and operate a large-scale pilot project for a sorbent-based post-combustion carbon capture system at Basin Electric's Dry Fork Station coal-fired power plant in Wyoming. The project aims to validate scaling factors and demonstrate the interaction between major carbon capture system components to advance the technology towards...

This $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) will support the American Cast Iron Pipe Company (AMERICAN) in retrofitting its Birmingham, Alabama facility. The project will install four medium frequency coreless induction furnaces and three channel induction holding furnaces to shift the facility's iron and steel production to lower-carbon electric heating methods. This will enable broader scrap...
