Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 184 / Monday, September 23, 2019 / Notices
The CO2 Conversion Challenge is
devoted to fostering the development of
CO2 conversion systems that can
effectively produce singular or multiple
molecular compounds identified as
desired microbial manufacturing
ingredients and/or that provide a
significant advancement of
physicochemical CO2 conversion for the
production of useful molecules.
I. Prize Amounts
Phase 2 of the CO2 Conversion
Challenge will award to up to three (3)
top teams, who will receive prizes from
a prize purse of $750,000 (sevenhundred fifty thousand dollars). Teams
will be required to submit: (1) An
application containing a description of
the physiochemical conversion system
they will build to demonstrate the
production of carbon-based molecular
compounds and (2) a video of the
system in operation that clearly depicts
the overall component and operation of
the system. Upon completion of a phone
interview with a judge, teams will be
required to host a site visit by a judge
where the operation of the system is
demonstrated and a sample to be
analyzed is produced and collected. The
team’s product will be examined using
an independent chemical analysis to
determine if any of the targeted
compounds are present.

If enantiomers of the targeted
compounds are present, the mass of
each will be measured. The total score
will be calculated by taking the mass of
the most desired enantiomer ‘‘D’’ form
minus the mass of the undesired ‘‘L’’
form. For example, if equal amounts of
‘‘D’’ and ‘‘L’’ glucose are found, then no
points will be given for that compound.
The three highest scoring teams will
be awarded the following prizes:
First place—$350,000 (three hundred
fifty thousand U.S. dollars)
Second place—$200,000 (two hundred
thousand U.S. dollars)
Third place—$100,000 (one hundred
thousand U.S. dollars)
In the event of a tie score between two
or more teams, the corresponding
award(s) will be divided evenly among
the teams. For example, a tie for first
place will result in both teams receiving
($350,000 + $200,000)/2 = $275,000.
$100,000 bonus prizes awarded to as
many three (3) teams.

Bonus Prize—System Effectiveness for
Space Mission Applications: The
information provided in the
Demonstration Application as well as
information gathered during the on-site
judging event will be used by the
judging panel to assess the overall
system effectiveness for future
application in space missions. A total of
$100,000 will be available for bonus
prizes in amounts determined by the
judges for up to 3 teams. Teams do not
need to win one of the contest prizes to
be awarded a Bonus Prize. The top score
will receive $50,000 and the next two
highest scores will receive $25,000. A
minimum score of 65 points is required
to be eligible for a bonus prize.
II. Eligibility
To be eligible to win a prize,
competitors must;
(1) NASA welcomes applications from
individuals, companies, or other entities

federal employment, and they rely on
no facilities, access, personnel,
knowledge or other resources that are

employment except for those resources
available to all other participants on an
equal basis. For additional information

right to share any submissions or related
information received with its civil
servants and contractors, and reserves
the right to approach individual
participants about any future
opportunities at the conclusion of the
competition.
