The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to Montana State University Energy Research Institute to conduct a lab-scale research and modeling project with the goal of developing a method to convert CO2 to ethylene glycol. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BP). During, BP1 the recipient would set up facilities for fabrication and testing. During BP2, the recipient would demonstrate the process. During BP3, the recipient would scale and optimize the process.
