ECA Liquefaction, S. de R.L. de C.V. (ECA Liquefaction) filed a "Request for Extensions for Long-Term Authorizations to Export Liquefied Natural Gas" (Request) with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (now known as the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office) on September 19, 2025.
Funding will support the project team's small-scale research and development of a pilot system using anode materials for electrochemically reducing actinide- and fission product- oxides in used nuclear fuel (UNF).
Funding will support the project team's small-scale research and development of a seismic monitoring solution that leverages fiber optic sensors and high-performance computing to characterize subsurface fractures and seismic risk for geothermal operations in real time.
The Galvanizing Leaps in Advanced Super INsulating Glass (GLASING) program supports small-scale research and development of high performance Insulated Glass Units (IGU) to improve the energy performance of windows in new and existing buildings.
This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to further advance their artificial intelligence and physics-based simulation methods to enable secure immobilization of salt waste from molten salt reactors under the Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems (ONWARDS) program.
This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of an extended period of performance and removal of two teaming partners to develop a catalyst-enabled, economical technology that will reduce emissions from ventilation air methane associated with coal mining, in progress under the Reducing Emissions of Methane Every Day of the Year (REMEDY) program.
The Jumpstart Opportunities to Unleash Leadership in Energy Storage with 1K Energy Storage Systems (JOULES-1K) Phase 2 Program (previously Pioneering Railroad, Oceanic and Plane ELectrification with 1K energy storage systems [PROPEL-1K]) are projects chosen from Phase 1 of the JOULES-1K program which show the most promise of developing novel energy storage to support drones, robots, Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and other applications that would benefit from ultra-high-density storage systems.
This Fourth Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, extended period of performance, a new project team member, and additional project milestones to support one project team's small-scale research and development activities to further advance their NuCycle used nuclear fuel recycling process under the Converting Used Nuclear Fuel (UNF) Radioisotopes Into Energy (CURIE) program.
The Technologies to Emend and Obviate SYnthetic Nitrogen’s Toll on Emissions (TEOSYNTE) program supports projects that focus on plant and microbial bio-design strategies that reduce the need to apply synthetic nitrogen fertilizer on corn and sorghum fields while maintaining crop yields.
The Realize Energy-rich Compound Opportunities Valorizing Extraction from Refuse waters - (RECOVER) program seeks to create new ways to extract critical metals and ammonia from domestic wastewater.
