The U.S. Division of Power (DOE) introduced awards for the Fiscal 12 months 2024 Part I Launch 2 of the Small Companies Progressive Analysis (SBIR) and Small Enterprise Know-how Switch (STTR) program. Throughout DOE, 229 initiatives in 39 states obtained $52 million to pursue clear power analysis and improvement (R&D), and eventual demonstration initiatives. The Car Applied sciences Workplace (VTO) chosen 27 initiatives in 13 states to advance clear transportation R&D. Totaling $5.4 million, VTO’s funded initiatives will work to resolve a variety of issues together with:

• Enhancing the state-of-the-art for electrical automobile (EV) battery cells and elements
• Establishing a home manufacturing functionality for commercialization of competitively priced energy modules for high-voltage EV charging techniques, and solid-state transformers
• Creating progressive options for enhancing transportation effectivity (folks and items)
• Creating, designing, and demonstrating multifunctional and clever composites for next-generation electrical autos for lighweighting and decarbonization
• Measuring in-situ biodiesel blends for off-road autos.

DOE SBIR and STTR awards attempt to rework DOE-supported science and expertise breakthroughs. Funded by the DOE’s SBIR and STTR applications, VTO’s alternatives are for Part I analysis and improvement. Small companies that demonstrated technical feasibility for improvements throughout their Part I grants will compete for funding for prototype or processes improvement throughout Part II. The median Part I award is $200,000 for a interval of six to 12 months.
