This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) provides $3,611,961 to Dumarey USA LLC to develop a high-power, ultra-low emissions heavy-duty hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. The project aims to create an engine with high specific power (over 100% of a diesel engine), high efficiency (at least 44% parity with a diesel baseline), and...

The American Center for Mobility (ACM) was awarded a $1,529,629 Cooperative Agreement from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), under the CFDA 81.135 program, to conduct research on converting carbon dioxide to ethanol. The key objectives of the project are: 1) to demonstrate conversion of dilute CO2 to ethanol with at least 60% selectivity at a maximum full cell voltage of 2V, to achieve a fuel cost of $0.03/MJ; 2) to develop and integrate a new anion exchange membrane...

Under a $3,230,673 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), Purdue University is leading the development and validation of a technology that enables cost-effective utilization of spark-ignited hydrogen (H2) combustion engines in off-road vehicles. The project aims to create a high energy-efficient hybrid excavator powered by a hydrogen combustion engine. As sub-awardees, Cummins Inc. and Bosch Rexroth...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), will fund a $17,547,861 project to design, install, and demonstrate a 250 kW solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) system. The project aims to advance the SOEC technology from TRL 4 to TRL 6 by integrating it with an existing 1.6 million ton per year direct reduction of iron (DRI)...

This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program provides $3,784,848 in funding to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to demonstrate a 5kW prototype system for renewable propane production using dynamic CO2 electrolysis. The multi-institutional collaboration also includes GTI Energy, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Propane Education and Research Council, and SHV Energy. The project aims to achieve 97%...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $4,999,500 Cooperative Agreement to Susteon Inc., a minority-owned technology company based in Morrisville, North Carolina. The purpose of this 3-year award, which began on September 11, 2024, is to develop a novel, inexpensive, and modular technology platform for producing sustainable aviation fuel and other valuable chemicals from CO2 and renewable electricity. The project, titled "ECHO-SAF:...

The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has awarded a $999,926 Cooperative Agreement to RTX Corporation (doing business as Raytheon Technologies Research Center) to verify a large-scale build and field test of an additive precooler heat exchanger. This project will mature the technology developed under RTX Corporation's previous ARPA-E award (DE-AR0001473) on topology optimization and additive manufacturing for performance enhancement of high temperature...

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $2,568,750 Cooperative Agreement to Stanford University under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The purpose of this award is to develop an "Ultra-Efficient Porous-Media Combustion Technology for H2-Based Combustion in Process Heating". Stanford University has issued a $306,588 sub-award to RTX Corporation's Raytheon Technologies Research Center to support...

The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $6,042,305 cooperative agreement to 8 Rivers Capital, LLC for Phase 2 of the FLECCS program. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the UNO Mk 3 carbon capture process on natural gas combustion emissions at the National Carbon Capture Center in Alabama. This is intended to reduce technical risks and accelerate commercialization of the UNO Mk 3 process for gas turbines. The 3-year project period runs from...
