The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office is pleased to highlight a renewed Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Consortium to develop “roll-to-roll” processes that will reduce the cost of manufacturing electrolyzers and fuel cells.
Preventing clothes from shedding may be impractical, if not impossible. However, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™) consortium have developed an emerging solution that could address the challenge at its source: replace today’s petroleum-derived polyester with a nontoxic, biodegradable alternative made from PHAs, short for “polyhydroxyalkanoates.”
The Hydrogen Safety Panel at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has established a dedicated mentoring program to attract qualified individuals interested in gaining expertise in hydrogen safety. The deadline to apply is March 31.
Join our monthly H2IQ Hour webinar on March 26, 2024, at 12 p.m. ET for an overview of hydrogen fuel dispensing for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
The U.S. Department of Energy is pleased to welcome the Energy Observer to a stopover visit in Washington D.C. as it nears the end of a seven-year expedition around the world to champion the cause of renewable energy.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23), which shows that the U.S. could triple its production of biomass to more than 1 billion tons per year. The report—the fourth in a series of assessments of potential biomass resources in the United States since 2005—finds that 1 billion tons of biomass could satisfy over 100% of the projected demand for airplane fuel in the country, allowing the U.S. to reduce emissions in the aviation industry with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Join the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program for the 2024 Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting (AMR) May 6–9, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia.
Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Computational Science Center are hard at work enabling the conversion of biomass to fuels and products at industrial scale. Computational tools can model biomass conversion at scales ranging from small lab beakers to biorefineries, which can help accelerate and de-risk the newest technology developments.
The U.S Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are launching the next phase of Waste-to-Energy Technical Assistance. For 2024, program eligibility has been expanded to include state governments, and the program’s scope now includes additional waste resources.
In January 2024, the first commercial production facility for converting ethanol into SAF opened in Soperton, Georgia. Supported by DOE’s Bioenergy Technology Office (BETO), LanzaJet’s Freedom Pines Fuel Facility will produce nine million gallons of SAF and one million gallons of renewable diesel in its first year of operations and will provide significant benefits for the local economy.
