Thermoelectric ocean energy harvesters for maritime sensors

The federal Project Grant award for $206,496.00, awarded on July 22, 2024 by the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), is supporting the development of thermoelectric ocean energy harvesters for maritime sensors by Nanohmics Inc., a small for-profit technology company based in Austin, Texas. This project aims to advance U.S. energy, economic, and national security priorities through transformative scientific discoveries in emerging technologies. The funding will enable Nanohmics to conduct applied research and deliver prototype technologies for thermoelectric ocean energy harvesting systems, which can power maritime sensor applications. This grant is part of the Department of Energy's broader efforts to support innovative research projects that have the potential to revolutionize scientific understanding and technological capabilities across various domains, including energy, environment, and national security.
