PHOENIX, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- EarthEn Energy, a US-based climate-tech startup, is
proud to announce that it has received funding from the National
Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
program, also known as America's Seed Fund. This award supports the
development of a novel Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system, aka
heat battery for EarthEn's sCO2-based,
thermo-mechanical, long-duration energy storage. The NSF STTR
program is a highly competitive award that funds innovative
technologies with high potential for commercialization and societal
impact. EarthEn Energy's TES system has the potential to store and
dispatch energy in form of heat for extended periods, providing a
reliable and dispatchable source of clean energy.
"We are thrilled to receive NSF's support to develop this
groundbreaking TES technology," said Manas
Pathak, CEO and Co-Founder of EarthEn Energy. "This funding
will enable us to further develop and commercialize our TES system,
helping to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy
future."
The NSF funding will support EarthEn Energy's research and
development efforts, focusing on development of the TES system and
improving its efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness. "This
award is a testament to the innovative spirit and expertise of our
team," added Palash Panja, Chief
Technology Officer at EarthEn Energy. "We look forward to
collaborating with the NSF and our partners to bring this
game-changing technology to market."
EarthEn Energy's
sCO2-based, thermo-mechanical system
has the potential to transform the energy landscape, enabling the
widespread adoption of renewable energy sources and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
