This $31,262,296 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 feasibility of safely converting a mature oil and gas field in the Permian Basin into a dedicated carbon dioxide (CO2) storage facility. The key objectives are to: 1) further validate the subsurface characterization, storage capacity, and technical/economic performance to inform the final...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $7,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to Dumarey USA LLC (UEI: M8KLDKAB11B9), a subsidiary of Mahle Powertrain, LLC. The objective of this project is to demonstrate at-scale, electrically heated methane oxidation catalysts capable of achieving at least 8,000 hours of longevity and high conversion efficiencies to enable widespread adoption in...

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 $3,135,483 to demonstrate an advanced bench-scale process for producing germanium (Ge) and gallium (Ga) from a mixed rare earth oxide/salt concentrate derived from a carbon-based feedstock. The key objectives are to design and construct a bench-scale unit that can extract and purify Ge and Ga from the concentrate, with...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program awarded a $3,709,032 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois to complete a feasibility study for a regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub in Florida. The key objectives are to define the DAC hub organization, select technologies, assess life cycle emissions, identify safety/regulatory requirements, and develop financing, business, and community benefits plans. Planned sub-awards include...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $4,984,609 Cooperative Agreement to the Institute of Gas Technology (GTI Energy) under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program. The purpose of the 2-year project, with an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2027, is to establish a viable pathway to produce net-zero hydrogen at $1 per kilogram through biomass and waste gasification. The project aims to develop and...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to The Greene County Industrial Developments Inc. (GCID) to conduct a "Liquefied Natural Gas Opportunity Study." The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a gas-to-liquid sustainable aviation fuel facility located near the Pittsburgh International Airport. The facility would utilize...

This $4,250,273 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) funds a feasibility study for a 600+ mile, regional, commercial-scale, common carrier CO2 pipeline system. The "Gulf Coast Decarb System" (GCDS) project will assess the technical and economic viability of transporting supercritical anthropogenic CO2 from multiple sources to multiple sinks along the Gulf...

The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has awarded a $13,257,761 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) federal grant program to CYG Nittany, LLC. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the commercial and carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation potential of a pilot-tested CO2 utilization technology. Specifically, the project will use CO2 emitted from an industrial lime production plant as a feedstock to produce ultra...
