Program Overview - GREENWELLS:
The GREENWELLS program targets the creation of sustainable carbon-containing liquids using renewable energy and CO2. Imagine reactor systems that can efficiently harness intermittent energy sources like wind and solar, providing a solution to challenges in grid interconnection. This not only accelerates renewable energy deployment but also opens doors to long-term energy storage solutions.
Objectives:
The primary goal of GREENWELLS is to develop chemical reactors that can economically store at least 50% of intermittent electrical energy in carbon-containing liquids. These liquids serve as versatile energy carriers, suitable for transportation and storage of renewable energy. The program aims to reduce costs, speed up renewable energy projects, and contribute to ARPA-E's broader goals of enhancing energy security and reducing emissions.
Why GREENWELLS?
This program tackles the need for low-cost carbon-containing liquids, addressing challenges in the decarbonization of difficult sectors like aviation and heavy-duty transportation. By minimizing capital expenditures and leveraging renewable energy independent of the grid, GREENWELLS aims to create disruptive technologies with clear market potential.
