This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) provides $650,000 to Darcy Solutions, Inc. to further advance their Darcy Solutions geothermal submerged closed loop heat exchanger system. The key objectives are to develop innovative borehole characterization methodologies, design a new heat exchanger to significantly increase thermal exchange, and map rural communities that would benefit most from the renewable energy heating and cooling technology. This research aims to address climate change and promote climate resiliency in rural America, while also providing economic benefits through greater energy independence and reduced costs. The project period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026.
