- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is intended to support the development and production of renewable carbon (or "biocoke") from biomass sources to replace petroleum-based coke (petcoke) used in aluminum and steel production. The $175,000 Phase I effort, awarded to Agrebon Energy Incorporated on August 15, 2025, will adopt and follow a...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.212 - Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program) provides $181,500 to Sustainable Chemicals LLC to develop a family of renewable and biodegradable bioplastics that can replace large-volume petrochemical plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene. The bioplastics are designed to have a 75% lower carbon...
- This $175,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program supports the development of innovative biotechnology solutions from Transfoam LLC, doing business as Ourobio. The project aims to transform agricultural byproducts such as dairy whey, soybean meal, and corn waste into biodegradable plastics (PHAs) and natural...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $174,746 Project Grant under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) to Glanris Water Systems Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, to develop a low-cost, easily manufactured modified biochar that can adsorb plant nutrients. The goal is to use this biochar to remediate agricultural runoff and wastewater, removing harmful phosphate and nitrate,...
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, awarded $175,000 under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program to KSE, Inc. of Sunderland, Massachusetts. The award will support KSE's efforts to develop and scale an integrated process for converting lignocellulosic waste streams into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) at high selectivity without pre-treatment of biomass compounds. Key activities include improving reactive...
- The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to TDA Research, Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The grant is for the development of a "REACTIVE CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR REMOVING CO2 FROM INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS" with a project period from July 10, 2023 to April 9, 2024. TDA Research has also received past federal grants and subcontracts...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, supports the development of a light-based, energy-generating carbon removal process. The $274,094 award to Banyu Carbon Inc. aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering or reusing captured carbon dioxide. Key objectives include improving the resistance of the proprietary photoacid catalyst to degradation and replacing expensive...
This $175,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) will fund TDA Research, Inc.'s development of a new class of biodegradable carbon dioxide sorbent materials based on kraft lignin waste. The sorbents will have increased CO2 absorption capacity to enable cost-effective capture of CO2 from industrial flue gases and direct air capture applications. This work supports USDA's strategic goal of addressing climate change by developing value-added products from forest resources. The project aims to utilize a low-cost, underutilized byproduct of the forestry industry to create a new, versatile CO2 absorbent material for gas purification and storage applications, thereby addressing multiple USDA SBIR/STTR program research priorities.
