The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

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. BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION OF SULFUR FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE

    SBC: Engineering Resources, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    ABOUT 100 TRILLION CUBIC FEET OF PROVEN AND FUTURE NATURAL GAS RESERVES ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE HIGH HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S) CONCENTRATIONS, REQUIRING TREATMENT AND REMOVAL. CURRENT TREATMENTPROCESSES ARE EXPENSIVE, EMIT LARGE QUANTITIES OF SULFUR GASES TO THE ENVIRONMENT, AND CAN BE APPLIED ONLY TO VERY LARGE RESERVES. TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE ECONOMICALLY APPLIED TO SMALL, AS WELL AS LARGE, GAS RESERV ...

  2. BIOLOGICAL REMOVAL OF COAL MINE METHANE

    SBC: Engineering Resources, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS OF METHANE ARE CURRENTLY INCREASING AT A RATE OF ONE PERCENT ANNUALLY. EMISSIONS OF THIS GREENHOUSE GAS FROM COAL MINES NOW AMOUNT TO ABOUT 65 MILLION TONSANNUALLY, AND ARE INCREASING STEADILY. METHANE ADSORBED ONTO INTERNAL COAL SURFACES IS RELEASED AS THE COAL IS MINED. THIS GAS IS VENTED TO THE ATMOSPHEREFROM GOB WELLS OR WITH VENTILATION AIR. THE METHANE CONCENTRATIO ...

  3. Engineering Analysis and Design of CO2 Geothermal Power System to Provide Dispatable Geothermal Electricity Generation and Grid-Scale Energy Storage

    SBC: TERRACOH INC            Topic: 11b

    In topic 11.b, Dispatchable Geothermal Operations, DOE seeks to enable more widespread deployment of geothermal as a dispatchable energy source.TerraCOH’s CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG™) and Earth Battery™ technologies are ideally suited to meet DOE’s needs.Conventional geothermal power technology has generally been limited to use as a baseload power source, but with increasing penetration of ...

  4. High-Efficiency and Less Expensive Nanocrystal-Based Scintillator

    SBC: MESOLIGHT, LLC            Topic: 26

    There is immediate need for a new generation of scintillation materials for nuclear physics research, high-energy radiation (x- and gamma-rays) screening/imaging, and passive detection of nuclear materials with improved quality and low production cost. Inorganic scintillators have high output efficiency, but relay on the growth of bulk crystal that is still a challenging task. Due to their relati ...

  5. High Polarization and High Peak Current Compositionally Graded AlGaAs/GaAs Superlattice Photocathodes for RF Gun Applications

    SBC: SVT ASSOCIATES INC            Topic: 30d

    New experiments and technologies in the science of physics employ electrons with a certain and known polarization. Sources of these electrons typically have imperfect polarization less than 80 percent and low quantum efficiencies less than 1 percent. Increasing either or both of these device properties greatly enhances the physics research being undertaken in facilities such as high energy collide ...

  6. Hydrogen From Refinery Wastes Via Superadiabatic Autothermal Reformation

    SBC: INNOVATIVE ENERGY SOLUTION            Topic: 23b

    Since 1990, the cost of hydrogen needed to treat one barrel of oil has increased from 10 cents to $1. This problem is being exacerbated because of stricter environmental regulations and because the crude now being processed by refiners contains less hydrogen and more sulfur. To deal with the hydrogen shortage, most large refineries have outsourced their hydrogen generating capacities to industrial ...

  7. Hydrothermal Catalysis Flow Process to Convert Brown Grease into Green Gasoline, Green Jet and Green Diesel Fuels

    SBC: SARTEC CORPORATION            Topic: 08a

    The primary challenges for creating renewable fuels are the ability to process inexpensive non-food feedstocks into biofuels that meet all quality specification, perform indistinguishably from petroleum-based fuels and are compatible with current infrastructure.Our Phase I project demonstrated the feasibility of producing biofuels from waste greases using a novel hydrothermal, continuous-flow cata ...

  8. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Coatings as Superior Thermal Barriers for Engine Pistons

    SBC: IBC Materials & Technologies, LLC            Topic: 13c

    Automobiles (cars and trucks for instance) are the predominant mode of transportation in the United States. These vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines that consume fossil fuels such as gasoline. Improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines is an ongoing challenge of enormous impact to energy consumption in the world. In order to improve engine efficiency and thus fuel eco ...

  9. Quantitative In-Situ TEM Nanotribology Tester

    SBC: HYSITRON, INCORPORATED            Topic: 13

    Friction and wear are energy-robbing processes that represent a tremendous burden to the national economy, especially in this time of record oil/fuel prices. Unfortunately, the field of tribology (the science of friction, lubrication, and wear of interacting surfaces in relative motion) lags many other disciplines in terms of fundamental knowledge. What is needed is a new tool that enables tribol ...

  10. Quantitative In-Situ TEM Tensile Testing Apparatus

    SBC: HYSITRON, INCORPORATED            Topic: 13

    In situ tensile testing in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) has been a powerful tool for revealing underlying physical mechanisms at the nano or even atomic scale when materials are subjected to an applied stress. However, all commercially available in situ TEM tensile holders suffer from the absence of quantitative ability and require complex sample preparation. This project will deve ...
