Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program Recommends Nearly $7.2M in Funding for 6 Projects; 3 Li-ion Awards
26 December 2009
The Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program recently recommended nearly $7.2 million in funding to six new projects. The Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program supports research and development that addresses the technical and cost barriers to commercialization of advanced energy components and systems, with preference to wind, biomass, and energy storage in Ohio. The awards are contingent upon State Controlling Board approval.
Fiscal Year 2010 Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program Awards include:
| Fiscal Year 2010 Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program Awards | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Grantee | Project | Description | Funding ($million) | |||
| Novolyte Technologies, Inc. | Development and Commercialization of Advanced Electrolyte Materials for Next Generation Lithium-ion Batteries | Novolyte will develop novel electrolytes for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries that will significantly improve performance and safety, and thereby expedite product commercialization. | $1.12 | |||
