Description

Request for Information (RFI): CO2 Mineralization to Enhance the Extraction of Energy-Relevant and Commodity Minerals This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not soliciting application for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit input for a potential future ARPA-E research program focused on novel, potentially transformative technical opportunities and approaches to liberate minerals relevant to our energy infrastructure while concurrently mineralizing carbon dioxide. With increased global competition for minerals in emerging technology, defense, and clean energy applications, any shortage of critical mineral resources “constitutes a strategic vulnerability for the security and prosperity of the United States.” The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) has recently published a list of such materials; however, in addition to the critical metals identified by DOI, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) is also interested in other energy-relevant base transition metals. The information you provide may be used by ARPA-E in support of program planning. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA). NO FOA EXISTS AT THIS TIME. To view the RFI in its entirety, please visit https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov.
