About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative research proposals for the Expeditionary Carbon Utilization for energy Resilience and Stabilization (ExCURSion) program. The goal is to develop foundational technologies that enable carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, capture, and storage as key components of a future self-enclosed system. This system would create liquid carbon fuels and use them to store and deploy energy, addressing the need for energy resilience in expeditionary settings independent of a fuel supply line. Proposals should investigate novel approaches that advance science, devices, or systems, excluding evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Submissions are due by April 29, 2024.
Paragraph 2:
This opportunity does not have a set-aside designation. The primary NAICS code is 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The main PSC code is AD11 - Research and Development - Physical Sciences. DARPA is seeking multiple awards, with a 24-month base period and a 9-month option period. The agency has not provided specific award value or budget information, but the goal is to develop a self-sustaining system capable of producing and utilizing liquid fuels independently of external supply lines in expeditionary settings.
Notice text
The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the foundational technologies area to enable carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, capture, and storage. These technologies are envisioned as key components for a future self-enclosed system that creates liquid carbon fuels and uses them to store and deploy energy to address the need for energy resilience in an expeditionary setting, independent of a fuel supply line. The envisioned system will enable safe, field-deployable, high-density, and rechargeable energy storage. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches enabling revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research primarily resulting in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
