Sublime systems, INC.: new award project title: electrochemical synthesis of low-carbon cement (control# 1954-1790) the purpose of this award is to provide funds for sublime systems, INC

Sublime Systems, Inc. was awarded a $498,253 project grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy to develop an alternative process for lime production using renewable electricity. The goal of the project is to produce lime, a key ingredient in cement, through an electrochemical synthesis method instead of using fossil fuels. This new production method aims to create lime with exceptional purity, consistency, and reactivity to enable next-generation low-carbon cements. The period of performance for this project is from July 19, 2021 through January 18, 2023. The Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program supports objectives to advance energy technologies that reduce U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources in accordance with the Department of Energy's authorizing legislation.

To develop an alternate path to the production of lime that uses off-peak renewable electricity instead of fossil fuel, producing lime of exceptional purity, consistency, and reactivity, enabling next-generation low-carbon cements.
