The grant is about 1% of the DOE's grant budget for projects and is a typical amount given to fund a university-based project, Stoffa said. Regarding the grant application process for the DOE, Stoffa said the applicants had to submit multiple documents that are extensive and require heavy research. Joe Stoffa is a technology manager for the carbon conversion program at NETL, a lab under the direction of the DOE's Office of Fossil Energy, and is involved in awarding grants like the one given to OU researchers. The researchers have been working in collaboration with industry partners Brown and Caldwell, Tundra Companies and CONSOL Energy. "We're developing ideally a direct air carbon capture technology that will allow us to convert CO2, whether that's in the air or in a point source, and utilize that to remediate produced water waste to generate carbonate products," Trembly said. The project will have a 24-month duration following its start sometime around June 1, said Jason Trembly, a professor of mechanical engineering and the director of the ISEE and the project's principal investigator.
