  3. Alkaline stable membranes for alkaline electrolyzers

    SBC: DIOXIDE MATERIALS, INC.            Topic: C5618m

    C56-18m-272073Anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers have the potential to meet the 2026 DOE target of hydrogen production for $2/kg, but better membranes are needed. The membranes need to run at higher pressures and lower KOH concentrations to simplify the balance of plant. Dioxide Materials already sells alkaline exchange membranes for use in AEM electrolyzers, but the present membranes are ...

  4. Development of a new lignocellulosic sugar production technology (Cellulose-To-Sugar) as a pathway for producing novel liquid low-carbon bioethanol

    SBC: BLUE BIOFUELS INC            Topic: C5610c

    C56-10c-272355 The transportation sector has historically relied heavily on petroleum, supporting over 90 percent of the sector’s energy needs. This sector has surpassed electricity generation to become the largest source of CO2 emissions in the United States. Replacing fossil fuels with biofuels is one of the primary ways to decarbonize the transportation sector and decrease global dependence o ...

  5. Fluorine-Free Membranes for PEM Electrolyzers

    SBC: DIOXIDE MATERIALS, INC.            Topic: C5618k

    C56-18k-272479Although PEM electrolysis is a leading technology for the production of green hydrogen, its reliance on PFSA membranes containing forever chemicals— along with bans on those chemicals coming into force soon — means that alternatives need to be found. The goal of the proposed research is to create new, fluorine-free membranes that could be used in place of fluorinated membranes in ...

  7. Removing Chlorine from Plastic using Thermochemical Pretreatment

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: C5626d

    Approximately 380 million tons of plastic is produced every year and over 75% of plastic is discarded as waste after a single use. Only 8% of waste plastic is recycled and 76% is landfilled. Many plastics are simply unrecyclable and many products use multiple materials that prevent recycling. Moreover, recyclable plastics need to be free of contaminants, but cross-contamination from polymer mixtur ...

  8. Strained Linear Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Heat Exchanger

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: C5619b

    Desire for low cost and high corrosion resistance have driven efforts to develop polymer heat exchangers in industrial heat pumps for decades; however, these approaches are typically limited by available materials with low base thermal conductivity between 0.11 and 0.35 W/mK. This low conductivity has rendered earlier attempts uncompetitive on a volumetric and performance basis to metallic heat ex ...

  9. High-Effectiveness Heat Exchangers for PEM Fuel Cell Thermal Management

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: C5618b

    Relatively low operating temperatures of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) necessitate large thermal management systems (TMS). For PEMFCs to be a viable replacement for diesel engines in heavy-duty vehicles (100-450 kW power range), novel compact heat exchangers (HEXs) must be developed to reduce the size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) of the TMS. Rather than rely on larger fans with ...

  10. C56 10b Virtual Power Plant utilization to drive Energy Efficiency & Power Market Optimization for Multifamily Buildings

    SBC: INFRANERGY LLC            Topic: C5610b

    Multifamily buildings are a major source of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency retrofits can be challenging due to split incentives between building owners and tenants. In addition, the complex and changing electricity market landscape creates barriers to effective demand response for building operators and utilities. Multifamily buildings account for a signific ...
