The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at DARPA is offering this grant to solicit innovative research proposals focused on foundational technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, capture, and storage. This initiative aims to develop key components for a future self-enclosed system capable of creating and utilizing liquid carbon fuels. The core purpose is to establish safe, field-deployable, high-density, and rechargeable energy storage, addressing critical needs for energy resilience in expeditionary settings, independent of traditional fuel supply lines. This grant specifically seeks revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems, excluding mere evolutionary improvements to existing practices. It is for research that enables resilient energy deployment.
