Biomimetic CO2 to Fuel Enabled by Scalable Catalyst Development and Synthetic Electrochemistry
SBC: PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORP Topic: CBiomimetic CO2 to Fuel Enabled by Scalable Catalyst Development and Synthetic Electrochemistry Methane is a primary source of national energy, often in the form of liquid natural gas (LNG), accounting for up to 30% of all energy produced in the United States. Further, LNG boasts a number of benefits over other chemical energy storage methods: it has a higher volumetric energy density than alternat ...

Water, Power and Environmental Data Acquisition Protocol
SBC: GRID MODERNIZATION SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: C5614aHydropower has the ability to play a critical role in curbing climate change because of the carbon free services it provides with its large storage capacities and fast ramping rates to complement the intermittency and uncertainty of other renewable energy resources. However, models used for energy system management and planning, largely, do not comprehensively include water avail ability or en ...

Power Electronics Manufacturing Improvements for Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Vehicle Applications
SBC: MAREL POWER SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: C5618iToday’s approaches towards power electronics to convert, condition, and manage the electrical output from the fuel cell stack to charge the onboard battery or provide power to the traction motor are wide and varied, with many of them suffering from cognitive entrenchment. This results in over-engineered bespoke systems, that are neither flexible nor scalable, and often tied tightly with specific ...

Multifunctional Ceramic Antifouling, Erosion- and Corrosion-resistant Coating for Hydropower Applications
SBC: NANOIONIX, LLC Topic: C5614bHydroelectric power is the world’s largest source of renewable energy. These massive systems are designed for a 50+ year service life, but this can be shortened substantially by poor water quality and the presence of flowing debris, sediment, minerals, and micro- and macro-organisms. Biofouling (especially from invasive species), corrosion, and erosion (wear) of critical components can limit per ...

Upcycling Of Polymer Composites For Vehicle Decarbonization
SBC: COMPOSITES AUTOMATION LLC Topic: C5612cC56-12c-272445Carbon fiber composites (CFCs) exhibit superior properties and combined with part consolidation, reduce system weight significantly compared to metal approaches. But CFCs have high embodied energy (~230MJ/kg) and the virgin carbon fiber (vCF) feedstock is expensive (>$20/kg). Recycling of CFCs has the potential to recapture the material value at a much lower cost, reduce the embodied ...
