The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Northwestern University for laboratory scale chemical engineering and materials science activities to test, experimentally and computationally, the viability of perovskite compounds which were previously identified as having promise in solar thermochemical applications. Project work would occur within existing laboratories at Northwestern University and collaboration is expected to occur with the HydroGEN Energy Materials Network National Laboratory consortium. This is a three-year research project that includes three budget periods. Only BP1 was originally negotiated and was reviewed by GFO-0008089-001 in July 2017. There was a Go/No Go decision point after BP1 that was passed so this NEPA review is for the remaining project activities.
