Upcoming Events and Deadlines

Plastic pollution has become ubiquitous in natural and built environments, raising grave concerns about harm to humans and nature alike. Once in the environment, research shows that plastic pollution may take between 100 to 1,000 years or more to decompose, depending on environmental conditions. Argonne National Laboratory scientist Max Delferro will explain how he and colleagues have developed a suite of novel catalysts and a blueprint for an industrial process to convert single-use plastics into high-value industrial products like lubricants or base oils. This technology has the potential to make a global impact because it not only addresses the plastic pollution problem, it could also result in financial upside. Now that this new technology has been validated in multiple environments in the laboratory, Argonne is seeking partners to scale up and test it in an industrial setting. The ideal partners include recycling or chemical companies that are interested in pushing the technological boundaries and are committed to tackling the environmental issues posed by plastic pollution.

Launching technologies from lab to market

Join us in celebrating Energy I-Corps Cohort 19 closing week by attending the poster session! Energy I-Corps is an Office of Technology Transitions' program that trains DOE researchers in entrepreneurship skills. Each team conducts market research and develops a commercialization plan for their lab-developed technology. The 13 graduating teams will be presenting their findings at the poster session on Wednesday, November 20th. The poster session will kick off with remarks from EERE and OTT leadership at 10am ET. The poster session ends at 11am. It will be held at Forrestal 1E-210 Collaboration Room (between the elevators on the entrance floor This session is closed to the public.

Taking place in Washington D.C. on December 4 and 5, Deploy24 will bring together industry executives, investors, community leaders, and other public and private sector decision-makers from across the clean energy supply chain. Our focus: to accelerate the deployment of critical energy and decarbonization technologies in the United States. As Deploy24 takes shape, check back for updates regarding programming, speakers, insights, and the 2024 agenda. To learn more, visit About Deploy.
