The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2030) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). This joint NSF-EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK) initiative, titled "Design and Optimization of Resource-Efficient Direct Air Capture Systems," delivers digital modeling and optimization tools, experimental validation frameworks, and techno-economic analyses for solid sorbent direct air capture (S-DAC) systems. The project produces computational models that enable scientists and engineers to design and operate S-DAC systems more efficiently while reducing energy consumption and operational costs, alongside life-cycle assessments and ecosystem impact evaluations to inform policy decisions in both the United States and United Kingdom. Key deliverables include an experimental testing unit to validate sorbent materials under varying environmental conditions; optimized S-DAC system designs through advanced modeling and simulation tailored for different regional climates; system layouts incorporating integrated energy and water management strategies with quantified heat recovery potential; and comprehensive techno-economic and environmental impact assessments. These products establish a new international standard for S-DAC design and deployment analysis, identifying cost-effective and environmentally efficient pathways for direct air capture technology implementation globally.Federal Grant Award Summary
