Patterns of electricity generation and consumption in the United States have rapidly changed over the past decade and are forecasted to continue doing so in coming decades. On the supply side, increasing generation from renewable sources has raised concerns about the ability of the electrical grid to stay stable given renewables’ intermittent and distributed nature, and has increased calls for n ...

Project Summary. Industrial Microbes is developing a green fermentation platform to replace carbon-emitting petrochemical processes with new methods that build chemicals out of carbon dioxide and methane. By using these raw materials and a new process, the company will be able to produce valuable chemicals for half the current production cost. This advantage means that Industrial Microbes’ techn ...

Toxic air pollutants, also known as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), are those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects. In today's environment, there are continuing problems associated with the environmental effects of multiple pollutant gas released to the air. This conc ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water (OW) is seeking innovative technologies to improve the performance and reliability of small drinking water systems. In response, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a novel Regenerative Capacitive Electro-Desalination System (RECED) to enable the use of reduced-quality water sources, such as weakly saline brackish wat ...

American Energy Technologies Co. will partner with Eagle Picher Technologies and Alion Science & Technology in order to develop a lean and efficient method for synthesis of Lithium battery grade carbon monofluoride (CFx). The focus of the development work will be on continuous processing, application of domestic raw materials and use of modern material de-aggregation techniques for particles of th ...

Sierra Energy proposes to demonstrate the production of low-cost hydrogen from waste-derived syngas. Sierra is currently partnered with the DOD ESTCP Program, and the California Energy Commission (CEC) to build a pilot-scale gasification facility at the garrison at Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL) Syngas is a mixture of H2 and CO and can be used directly for the generation of electricity via a generat ...

Stratonics innovation is an in-situ thermal inspection system for additive manufacturing that monitors and identifies critical thermal indicators to significantly increase yield, reducing cost and schedule while correlating inspection data to post-process inspection, supporting certification and quality part production. In-situ inspection and analysis of key thermal metrics will reduce material wa ...

SDCs environmentally stable composite joint can be manufactured at costs on the order of steel equivalents, eliminate up to 98% of corrosion prevention costs, and provide an ROI greater than 10. SDCs ESC joint was demonstrated at TRL 4 to be structurally equivalent to comparable metal structures and to eliminate corrosive moisture ingress to critical regions of a structure. This DLA Phase I SBIR w ...
