Energy Driven Technologies LLC

Energy Driven Technologies LLC is a for-profit limited liability company based in State College, Pennsylvania, that receives federal research grants from the Department of Energy's Office of Science as a prime recipient. The vendor operates exclusively in the research and development space, with no federal contracts, IDVs, or contract vehicles in its footprint.

Energy Driven Technologies LLC conducts fundamental materials engineering and power systems research focused on advanced energy conversion technologies. Recent grant work includes a $206,460 one-year project award dated July 8, 2025, from DOE's Office of Science under CFDA 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) to develop high-temperature refractory heat pipes for direct supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle heat exchangers, with completion scheduled for July 7, 2026. Prior grants include a project award dated July 22, 2024, for advancing supercritical carbon dioxide power systems and components for modular small reactors, and a February 12, 2024, award for combining additive manufacturing and field-assisted sintering techniques for multifunctional refractory plasma-facing materials. All three grants are project grants under DOE Office of Science, reflecting the vendor's specialization in next-generation reactor design materials and advanced power system technologies.

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Energy, with seven total awards spanning 2016 to present. Activity remains sparse and episodic — one award in 2016, two in 2017, a gap through 2019, then two awards in 2024 and one in 2025 — generating $3.4 million in combined obligated dollars over the full historical period. Energy Driven Technologies LLC operates as a pure research recipient with no subcontracting footprint and no prime contract experience, limiting its utility as a teaming partner for federal contractors pursuing commercial or services contracts but positioning it as a specialized research vendor in the DOE advanced materials and power systems ecosystem.
