Each team was awarded $80,000 for showcasing the performance capabilities and characteristics of their distributed embedded energy converter technology concepts to harness and convert the power of ocean waves into usable types of energy.

On July 17, 2024, FECM hosted an Appalachia Regional Deploy Dialogue focused on critical minerals at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown, West Virginia

Seven small businesses across seven states will receive approximately $200,000 to take innovative manufacturing technologies and materials to the next level.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy recently selected four wind-energy-related projects for Small Business Innovation Research Phase I funding. The announcement is part of DOE-wide awards totaling $54 million.

With support from DOE's Accident Tolerant Fuel Program, one company is pioneering the use of silicon carbide to create nuclear fuel cladding that's tougher than ever.

A new study from a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) funded startup, Algenesis Corporation, has demonstrated the ability to formulate high quality polyurethane products, including waterproof fabrics and cell phone cases, that generate no persistent microplastics. By utilizing some clever chemistry and sourcing oil from algae instead of petroleum, they can produce polyurethane plastics that biodegrade naturally in the environment.

The funds will be used advance floating offshore wind through port and vessel innovations, transmission technology, and uncrewed underwater vehicles for environmental monitoring.

Carbon capture is a decades old process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial facilities and power plants. This technology can be used in diverse applications, including ethanol, natural gas processing, gasification, fertilizer, hydrogen, cement, steel, and pulp and paper production.

Originally announced in April 2024 at the International Partnering Forum in New Orleans, the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Offshore Wind report outlines how the U.S. offshore wind industry can play a critical role in both near- and long-term decarbonization of the U.S. energy system.
