Project Grant DESC0023930

This $21,980,116 cooperative agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) aims to establish a domestic, vertically integrated wet-laid nonwoven production capability to manufacture at least 650,000 square meters of carbon veil substrates per year. These carbon veil substrates are used in the production of gas diffusion media for electrochemical energy...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $3,506,100 Cooperative Agreement to GE Vernova Operations LLC (GE Vernova) to implement a high-fidelity multi-gas sensing approach for localization and quantification of hydrogen (H2) leak sources at industrial sites over 36 months. The project aims to demonstrate a system solution for 3D localization and quantification of single or multiple H2 gas leaks on sites of approximately 100m x 100m. The...

This $2,491,594.00 Cooperative Agreement award, made by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the CFDA 81.135 Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program, supports the University of Wisconsin-Madison's project to develop a "Large-Survey-Area H2 Leak Detector Based on a Quadcopter-Mounted Laser Imager." The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to November 25, 2027 and will fund the university's research and development of an innovative quadcopter-mounted...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) award of $192,283 to Northeastern University supports collaborative research to model the influence of turbulence on flow-induced instabilities of large flexible structures, with a focus on wind turbine blades. The research aims to develop a novel dynamic model for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) systems that accounts for the effects of turbulence on the onset and post-critical behavior of aeroelastic instabilities in...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded Electroimpact Inc. a $107,099 cooperative agreement under the Aeronautics program (CFDA 43.002) on August 12, 2021 to demonstrate manufacturing approaches and technologies for large composite airframe structures. The goal of the Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing project is to enable a four to six times increase in aircraft production rates without increased costs. Electroimpact will work to develop manufacturing processes...

The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded the University of Delaware a $3,060,498 cooperative agreement under the ARPA-E program (CFDA #81.135) on September 13, 2022 to develop efficient manufacturing of lightweight composite architected structures for transportation vehicles through September 12, 2025. Under the award, the University of Delaware will lead a consortium to develop and commercialize Composite Architected Materials Processing (CAMP), a...

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $13.5 million cooperative agreement to GE Research, a division of General Electric Company, to develop additive and modular enabled rotor blades and integrated composites assembly (AMERICA) under the Conservation Research and Development program.
