The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Geothermal Energy Generation Using Dormant Wells in High-Temperature Shale Sedimentary Areas

    SBC: RENASCENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT LLC            Topic: C5513a

    C55-13a-270233The project embodies a field demonstration of a novel geothermal process via water injection into a shut- in existing well (already drilled & hydraulically fractured, and shut-in) for a short period, and then that injected water, having been heated by contacting the subsurface rock, is produced back to the surface (via the same well through which it was injected). This intermittent p ...

  3. Optimizing Solid Electrolyte and Air Electrodes for High Energy, 3D Na-Air Battery

    SBC: DAYLYTE, INC.            Topic: C5318c

    C53-18c-271136The lack of affordable large-scale batteries makes electric vehicles too expensive for most consumers and makes renewable energy storage financially impractical for almost everyone. Although Li-ion battery prices have fallen over the past three decades, they are threatening to rise higher as Li-ion production for electric vehicles is predicted to consume the world’s high-grade coba ...

  4. Rare Earth Metals Recycling by Hydrogen Reduction of REOs/Salts

    SBC: POLYKALA TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: C5127a

    C51-27a-271194Rare earth elements (REEs) are crucial to the production of green energy motors in wind turbines, hybrid cars, electric vehicles, and electronic devices. REEs are also widely used in defense systems, including precision-guided munitions, radar systems, avionics, night vision equipment, satellites and guided missiles. China dominates the REEs production and exports and is continuing t ...

  5. High-throughput manufacturing of REBCO superconductor tapes

    SBC: AMPEERS LLC            Topic: C5630a

    The ultra-high critical magnetic fields of RE-Ba-Cu-O (REBCO RE=rare earth) High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are very attractive for compact fusion energy systems that can operate over a temperature range of 4 – 50 K in magnetic fields beyond the realm of Nb3Sn wires. Because of the tremendous pull from compact fusion, REBCO tape supply is substantially trailing demand. 10,000 kilometers o ...

  6. Mid-IR UAV-based sensing platform with deep learning to Identify and Quantify Gaseous Emission in Gas Flares

    SBC: OMEGA OPTICS, INC.            Topic: C5627a

    Oil and natural gas contribute 30% of the total methane (CH4) emission in the United States, CH4 is a powerful greenhouse gas that traps 87 times more radiation than carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane is often intentionally released from oil and gas wells through venting or flaring natural gas. Methane emissions occur during all phases of drilling and production, and sometimes after a well has ceased p ...

  7. Dover CoreGuard cybersecurity protections for critical energy infrastructure

    SBC: DOVER MICROSYSTEMS INC            Topic: C5601a

    C56-01a-272210The DOE has expressed concerns that a cybersecurity attack could destabilize the electric grid. Attacks against the power grid by nation states or other bad actors (malware or ransomware) are a real threat and with the growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and their connection to the electric grid the balance between security and reliability of the power grid must be maintaine ...

  8. Conversion of CO2 and methane to syngas in catalytic-free plasma process

    SBC: RedShift Energy, Inc.            Topic: C5625f

    Carbon Dioxide (CO2) conversion to useful products and chemicals is very energy-expensive without using a co-reactant with a higher formation enthalpy. A dry reforming of methane (DRM) CO2 + CH4 ? 2CO + 2H2 ?H = 247.1 kJ is potentially large-scale process that utilizes methane (CH4) or natural gas (NG) as a high formation enthalpy co-reactant for CO2 conversion to a valuable commodity, syngas. Thi ...

  9. C56-17a R&D Addressing Wind Industry's Grand Challenges for Remote, Complex Terrain

    SBC: CARTER WIND TURBINES LLC            Topic: C5617a

    C56-17a-273450This project will support key objectives for wind energy to minimize environmental impacts and innovate complex terrain installation technologies for large emerging global wind power markets, namely: 1) distributed industrial/infrastructure applications, and 2) deep-water offshore. Both markets need more reliable, resilient, lower cost technologies and greater functionality to scale ...

  10. Rapid X-ray for Blade Manufacturing Quality Control and In-Service Maintenance

    SBC: WEI7 LLC            Topic: C5617a

    The Problem: Blades constitute the leading component of maintenance costs in wind turbines. High rates of damage and failure in blades are increasing the cost of ownership of wind energy assets. This hinders DOE’s goal of driving down the cost of wind energy. The two-fold challenges are (a) lack of fast, cost-effective non-destructive inspection (NDI) in the factory prevents the detection of all ...
