CONTROL NUMBER 3387-1656
PROJECT TITLE ''HARNESSING GHG-FREE GEOLOGIC HYDROGEN TO HARVEST NEW HELIUM SOURCES IN THE UNITED STATES''
VISION OPEN 2024
THIS PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE A FIRST-OF-A-KIND, SCALABLE, AND FLEXIBLE PROCESS TO CAPTURE HELIUM FROM U.S. WELL SITES BY LEVERAGING GHG-FREE COMBUSTION OF CO-EXTRACTED GEOLOGIC HYDROGEN TO POWER A NOVEL SEPARATION PROCESS.

THIS FOA MARKS THE SIXTH OPEN SOLICITATION IN THE HISTORY OF ARPA-E. SINCE THE AGENCY’S INCEPTION IN 2009, THE THREE-YEAR PERIODIC CYCLE OF ARPA-E OPEN PROGRAMS HAVE SERVED AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE TRANSFORMATIVE ENERGY BREAKTHROUGHS IN CRITICAL AREAS THAT FALL OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF ITS TECHNOLOGY-FOCUSED PROGRAMS. THE ENERGY TRANSITION TOWARDS NET-ZERO BY 2050 DEMANDS AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF INNOVATION. VISION OPEN 2024 CHALLENGES THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE A FUTURE ENERGY LANDSCAPE THAT IS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT. THE VISION OPEN 2024 INCLUDES THREE GOALS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO ACHIEVE A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND CARBON TRANSITION WITH: 1. GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG)-FREE ABUNDANT PRIMARY ENERGY; 2. AN INTERMODAL ENERGY SUPERHIGHWAY THAT TRANSPORTS DIVERSIFIED FORMS OF PRIMARY ENERGY; AND 3. A CARBON TRANSITION THAT SUSTAINABLY MEETS DEMAND FOR POLYMERS AND OTHER MATERIALS. THESE GOALS WILL ENABLE A NOVEL AND ROBUST GLOBAL ENERGY SYSTEM THAT RESPONSIBLY MEETS THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS. ACHIEVING THESE THREE GOALS BY 2050 WILL NECESSITATE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF DISRUPTIVE AND AMBITIOUS TECHNOLOGIES AT AN UNPARALLELED SPEED AND SCALE.
