This Project Grant award of $507,426 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program supports research by Professor Wesley Bernskoetter and his team at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The project seeks to develop new catalytic processes that combine carbon dioxide, an abundant and renewable resource, with other reagents like ethylene to produce valuable commercial chemicals. The research aims to identify catalyst features that enhance reaction...
This $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program aims to advance electrocatalytic technologies for capturing and converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels like methane and ethylene. The award to Clemson University's Division of Research will fund research to utilize captured (bi)carbonate ions rather than pure CO2 gas as the feedstock for the electrochemical reduction process. This approach seeks to improve the energy...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $560,068 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Jonathan Rochford of the University of Massachusetts Boston. The grant is funding the development of new strategies for the selective conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid, which has global demand and production methods that contribute to carbon dioxide emissions. The project is focused on engineering catalyst structure and electrolyte...
The University of Missouri System was awarded a $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Social and Economic Science under the CFDA program "Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences." The project aims to advance the understanding of factors impacting investment decisions for adopting carbon mitigation technologies, including carbon capture and storage (CCUS) versus renewable energy, among electricity producers. The researchers will examine consumer...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $301,463 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T) for a computational chemistry study of non-covalent interactions. The research group of Professor Greg Tschumper will use quantum mechanics-based computational methods to investigate fundamental aspects of non-covalent interactions and their practical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, provides $250,000 to the Colorado School of Mines to research and develop a process for producing sustainable liquid fuels from CO2.
