Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Low-cost Solution for Upcycling Flare Gas to Fertilizer the Objective of This Award Is to Adapt Its Core Methane Bioconversion Technology to Deploy a Full-scale System Designed to Operate as a Flare Replacement System on an Operating Oil Production Site. This System Will Reduce the Contributions of Methane Emissions Caused by Unwanted Gas Being Flared in the United States by Gathering Well-site Gas That Would Otherwise Be Emitted or Flared and Facilitating the Beneficial Use of the Gas by Conversion (upcycling) to High-value Organic Fertilizer That Can Be More Easily Transported Off-site. This System Will Dramatically Reduce the Methane and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions Associated With Current Flaring and Provide Local Benefits.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
