- 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...
- The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded Johns Hopkins University a $1.76 million cooperative agreement from January 2023 to January 2026. The award aims to develop carbon-negative mining of critical elements like manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper from low-grade gangue minerals through energy-efficient electrosynthesis of acid and base using renewable electricity. Johns Hopkins will produce hydrochloric acid via salt splitting to leach targeted...
- 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...
- The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $3,371,587 Cooperative Agreement to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to quantify atmospheric carbon dioxide removal using an autonomous ocean sensor that measures sinking particulate carbon flux.
