The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy announced the release of a memo by the Deputy Secretary of Energy, that describes a framework designed to minimize foreign risks to the scientific enterprise of DOE and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is considering issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support the development of new technologies to recover high energy-value materials from wastewater. These new technologies would aim to reduce reliance on foreign imports, domestic energy demands, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional sourcing and waste stream treatment. The purpose of this announcement is to facilitate the formation of new project teams.

Join the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for a webinar on December 11, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. MT (12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET). Led by INL senior bioenergy researcher Rachel Emerson, this webinar will explore the intricacies of INL’s Bioenergy Feedstock Library, a cornerstone database resource funded by DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), and how it supports bioenergy research.

Projects support research and development to convert algae, such as seaweeds and other wet waste feedstocks, into low-carbon fuels, chemicals and agricultural products that can decarbonize domestic transportation, industry, and communities.
