DOE Advanced Manufacturing Office to award $8.5M to 7 small business R&D projects

Green Car Congress

Small businesses receive Phase II grants for principal research and development efforts based on the technical feasibility demonstrated in Phase I projects. will develop low-cost, energy-efficient nanoporous ceramic membrane modules for separating pure oxygen from air. Phase II awards range up to $1,150,000 for two years.

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. The impetus for this change came from a study by the US Idaho National Lab [ 2 ]. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. As will be discussed later, only the PHEV is equipped to make use of this excess electric grid capacity.
