On Dec 21, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $2,497,134 in research funding for 25 small businesses to develop technologies that address some of our most pressing environmental problems. Projects include technologies for detecting methane emissions, methods to prolong the shelf life of foods and reduce food waste, software systems to improve recycling and materials management, and a water sampling device to detect the presence of PFAS.
“Congratulations to these small businesses for spurring innovation with their exciting ideas,” says EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Research and Development Chris Frey. “We are excited to see how they develop their technologies as they address critical environmental issues.”
