This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants program (CFDA 66.047) provides $3,473,895 to the University of Washington to evaluate and demonstrate HFC destruction via alkaline hydrolysis (AH) technology. The key objectives are to: Investigate HFC destruction chemistry under AH conditions, including modifying a lab-scale AH reactor, studying reaction kinetics and byproducts, and optimizing the AH...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Hydrofluorocarbon Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants program (CFDA 66.047) provides $3,801,094 to Drexel University to develop a portable and energy-efficient device that can destroy hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) on-site. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning. The project aims to integrate a liquid injection incinerator and non-thermal gliding arc plasma...
This $2,295,005 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Hydrofluorocarbon Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants program (CFDA 66.047) supports the Air-Conditioning, Heating And Refrigeration Technology Institute, Inc. (AHRTI) in developing and testing an innovative technology to chemically convert and destroy hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent greenhouse gases commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning. The key activities funded through...
This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants program (CFDA 66.047) provides $1,500,000 to Texas A&M University Engineering Experiment Center (Tees) to develop and validate technologies to reduce the time and cost of reclaiming HFC refrigerants in the U.S. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Designing and testing an intensified modular unit capable of...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program provides $7,500,000 in funding to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop a commercially scalable project plan to dramatically improve the catalytic activity and stability of palladium-based catalysts in a catalytic oxidation system. The goal is to achieve "near zero emissions" of methane from natural gas...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $500,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to investigate a short-wavelength ultraviolet light-driven water photolysis (SHARP) process for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the concentrated brine reject from membrane treatment of wastewater. The 3-year project, commencing on May 1, 2025, aims to optimize the SHARP process by...
This $994,407 project grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development, under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), will fund the design, testing, and deployment of affordable particle filtration systems for evaporative coolers to reduce wildfire smoke exposures among agricultural workers and low-income families in California. The Public Health Institute will lead the effort to design an effective yet inexpensive filter...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $3,059,400 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CFDA 66.046) program to the Hudson Valley Regional Council (HVRC) in New York. The purpose of this award is to have HVRC implement greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction programs, policies, projects, and measures identified in the New York State Priority Climate Action Plan. Key activities include the installation of biofilters and native plantings at closed landfills...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Targeted Airshed Grant Program (CFDA #66.956), awarded a $5,000,000 project grant to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to demonstrate the deployment of six (6) Daimler (Freightliner) Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) trucks. SCAQMD will implement this demonstration project through a subaward, leasing the zero-emission HFC trucks to various fleet operators in Southern California. The project aims to accelerate the...
This Project Grant award, totaling $150,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Claremont McKenna College. The award supports a collaborative research project aimed at discovering enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS), which are costly to remove from the environment. The project will engineer special enzymes capable of degrading these stable chemical bonds, with the goal of...
