The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, announced a call for commercialization partners to accelerate market-facing research, development, and deployment of cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell technologies.

The investment includes four hydrogen-related projects managed by DOE's Hydrogen with Carbon Management Program.

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.

The U.S. Department of Energy issued topics for Phase One of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. These topics aim to advance the development and commercialization of new ideas and research from small businesses that can drive innovation.

On Oct. 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™️) consortium held a webinar to discuss how the consortium uses analysis to guide research activities. The BOTTLE webinar recording, transcript, and slide presentations are now available.

Grants include three projects in California, Colorado, and Pennsylvania to support deployment of hydrogen-related transportation technologies and applications.

AlgaePrize 2023–2025 finalist teams continue to share their innovations with the algae industry. Their goals are to develop, design, and invent technologies in the commercial algae value chain. The latest updates show teams are prepared to pivot and invent new experimental solutions as they encounter challenges during the discovery process.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced 55 grants from the Clean Ports Program, including six port authorities selected to receive more than $475 million in EPA funding to advance hydrogen-based port operations.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released a notice of funding opportunity for up to $46 million to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration of affordable clean-hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call. Based on FY24, an estimated $30.1 to $36.8 million is expected to be available to fund projects solicited in this lab call pending FY25 appropriations and program direction. The total funding amount available will be applied once an official FY25 DOE budget is passed.
