The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $175,000 SBIR Program Project Grant to Chemfinity Technologies, Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business, to develop an innovative membrane technology for upgrading livestock-derived biogas into renewable natural gas. This project aims to address greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture sector by creating a cost-effective, high-performance biogas upgrading solution that can overcome the limitations of existing technologies. Chemfinity's membrane technology is designed to provide exceptional gas separation performance, using cost-effective materials and maintaining stability in harsh conditions. The project's ultimate goal is to advance next-generation gas upgrading technologies to significantly reduce the energy costs and consumption associated with producing biofuels from agricultural waste, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability and economic growth for farmers.
