Purdue University received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) on March 17, 2026, for the Inspiring Generations of New Innovators to Impact Technologies in Energy (IGNIITE) 2025 program. The award funds development of a hybrid plasma and Joule heating technology for distributed manufacturing of ammonia (NH3) and ethylene (C2H4) using methane and nitrogen as feedstocks. The project will deliver a continuous-operation reactor prototype capable of producing approximately 0.5 kilograms per day of ammonia while achieving synthesis rates, feedstock conversion efficiency, and energy efficiency exceeding 80 percent. This first-of-its-kind hybrid electrification approach is designed to enhance U.S. economic and energy security through transformative chemical manufacturing, renewable energy storage, hydrogen storage and transport, and emissions reduction capabilities. The two-year project, scheduled for completion by March 16, 2028, and performed at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana facility, represents ARPA-E's investment in high-risk, high-reward energy technology research that addresses early-stage innovations unsuitable for private-sector funding. The proposed technology is expected to complement centralized processes and benefit the chemical, energy, transportation, and agriculture sectors while maintaining U.S. technological leadership in advanced energy technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
