RFI - Next Generation Ammonia System Integration Project

This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION only.

This RFI is not accepting applications 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 chemical process to synthesize ammonia –

produced in huge amounts for its vital role in world agriculture – needs mitigation of its substantial negative energy and environmental consequences.

To address these consequences, the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) of the US Department of Energy seeks information that could inform ARPA-E’s potential research and development (R&D) funding of a pre-production, integrated system involving a skid-mounted ammonia synthesis system connected to an intermittent renewable energy source at a production scale of several hundred kg to 1 metric ton of ammonia per day.

For this targeted application, ARPA-E is interested in addressing key challenges of integrating various technologies emerging from the ARPA-E REFUEL program - and related awards from other ARPA-E programs (both prior and ongoing) - that are ready for scaling and would comprise a system for the production of ammonia as described above.

Specifically, ARPA-E seeks information about:
• Capabilities and needs of organizations to provide or evaluate such ARPA-E funded technologies (e.g.

advanced catalysts for low pressure and temperature synthesis, novel ammonia separation methods, etc.); • Capabilities and needs of organizations to integrate, build and test the ammonia synthesis system describe above; • Ability of organizations – on their own, or by forming and leading a consortium of research teams - with investors and private sector partners to advance promising ammonia synthesis and related technologies to market.

The goal is to integrate developed technologies and validate their reliability under variable load and start/stop operations, manufacturability, and favorable economics at scale.

Successful integration of ammonia synthesis technologies would establish a path forward to continued private sector development, scaling and deployment of these distributed ammonia synthesis technologies.

Ideally, the designed and constructed ammonia synthesis unit would serve as a test site for future improved subsystems for the ammonia synthesis process.

Please carefully review the REQUEST FOR INFORMATION GUIDELINES below, and note in particular:
the information you provide will be used by ARPA-E solely for program planning, without attribution.
