The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $1.777 million cooperative agreement to Precision Combustion, Inc. on May 14, 2026, under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA 81.135). The award funds development of a modular catalytic element system to destroy ventilation air methane (VAM) emissions associated with coal production, combining a short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design; catalyst formulation and loading to minimize operating...

The Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy awarded a $14.848 million Cooperative Agreement to the Institute of Gas Technology (doing business as GTI Energy) on June 1, 2026, under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089). GTI Energy will develop an integrated field laboratory study in the Midland Basin supported by laboratory experiment and computer simulation. The work addresses knowledge gaps in carbon dioxide utilization and storage, explores the feasibility of...

The National Science Foundation awarded Rushnu Inc. a $1.25 million cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop and deploy industrial-scale solvent-based gas absorption technology for carbon capture and mineralization. The technology converts carbon dioxide in industrial gas waste streams and chlorinated salts into essential chemical feedstocks including chlorine, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hypochlorite, as...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) provides $865,961 to Baker Hughes Energy Transition LLC to develop a digital twin framework for hydrogen-blended natural gas turbine systems coupled with point-source carbon capture technology. The objectives include validating a digital twin architecture for "blue hydrogen" with carbon capture from natural gas...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program provides $4,818,805.00 to Blue Mountain Operations, LLC to eliminate methane emissions from natural gas-driven pneumatic devices in remote oil and gas production facilities. The project aims to scale the deployment of solar-powered compressors as a methane-free solution for these facilities without relying...

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...
