Sustainable energy provider Compagnie Maritime Monegasque Zero Emission (CMMZE) has announced plans to build a large-scale green hydrogen production facility in the United Arab Emirates. Alongside similar projects in Morocco and Tunisia, this initiative aims to generate 180,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen annually, primarily for export to Europe. It marks…
As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the focus is increasingly shifting towards decarbonizing heavy industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals. These sectors are among the largest emitters of carbon dioxide, and finding sustainable solutions to reduce their carbon footprint is crucial. One promising solution is…...
Introduction to Thin Film Photovoltaics Thin film photovoltaics represent a significant advancement in solar energy technology, creating potential pathways for the development of more efficient and cost-effective solar energy solutions. Thin film solar photovoltaics differ fundamentally from conventional crystalline silicon solar panels; they are produced using a variety of materials…...
Introduction The global energy landscape is undergoing a transformative shift as nations strive to meet increasing energy demands while mitigating the impacts of climate change. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, have emerged as pivotal components in this transition. However, the intermittent nature of these energy…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced awards totaling $142 million for small businesses through DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II funding. Across DOE, 123 projects in 34 states received funding to pursue clean energy research and development projects. The average Phase…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is overseeing a call for industry partnerships to connect industry stakeholders with the capabilities of the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC). This funding opportunity will provide resources that allow partners to collaborate with FCIC researchers to address the cost and risk…
Stakeholders, such as farmers, industry, and local, regional, and national planners, have a powerful, free, and easy-to-access data portal at their command to unlock the power of bioenergy: the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework, or BioenergyKDF. The portal, stewarded by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for…
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) scientists engineered a process for making β-ketoadipic acid from lignin for $2 per kilogram, approaching cost-competitiveness with petroleum-based chemicals used for making nylon today. With support from the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office, researchers are a step closer to addressing one possible answer…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) announced their Notice of Intent (NOI) to issue a call for proposals from DOE National Laboratories, Plants, and Sites for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call. The goal of OTT’s Technology…
Today, an interagency team led by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT’s) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge: Tracking Metrics and Mid-2024 Dashboard. USDA Secretary Thomas Vilsack made the announcement at the North…
