This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) provides $1,248,768 in funding to Victory Over Carbon, Inc. to develop a novel approach for achieving gigaton-scale direct air carbon capture (DAC). The project aims to address key hurdles to scaling DAC technology, including reducing the cost to build and the energy required to operate the system. The Phase II effort will test a commercial-scale pilot of the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Carbon Solutions LLC under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant will support development of a decision-support tool to identify carbon dioxide capture opportunities across the United States energy sector from 2023-2024. The tool aims to facilitate the country's transition to net-zero carbon emissions through profiling capturable CO2 streams and providing the break-even capture cost,...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Rushnu Inc. will develop a commercially viable continuous carbon capture and mineralization system. The project aims to improve the single-pass capture and mineralization rate and optimize solvent recovery to enable cost-effective capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emission sources and transform it into value-added products. This will help the industrial...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a direct air capture technology for carbon dioxide sequestration. The university will utilize industrial waste materials and a two-step mineral carbonation method to directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as a stable mineral. This has the potential to offer a low-cost solution for permanent CO2 removal on a...
This $274,916 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of an innovative, scalable ocean carbon sensing grid by Subtidal, Inc. The goal is to enhance measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) capabilities for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, which have the potential to extract up to 5 gigatons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere. The research objectives include...
Heirloom Carbon Technologies, Inc. received a $255,737 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to support development of a transformative low-cost approach for direct air capture of carbon dioxide via repeated cycles of ambient weathering of metal oxides. The grant period ran from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and aimed to advance Heirloom Carbon Technologies' technology using ambient conditions and inexpensive materials to...
This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of a supersonic inertial separation technology for carbon capture. The technology aims to simultaneously freeze water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial exhaust streams, enabling the separation and capture of these components for downstream commercial use. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the design,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $299,980 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for the period of August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The purpose of this grant is to investigate mass and energy transfer mechanisms in stimuli-responsive "smart" sorbent materials for direct air capture of carbon dioxide (CO2). The research aims to develop new sorbent materials that can release...
