The Jumpstart Opportunities to Unleash Leadership in Energy Storage with 1K Energy Storage Systems (JOULES-1K) Phase 2 Program (previously Pioneering Railroad, Oceanic and Plane ELectrification with 1K energy storage systems [PROPEL-1K]) are projects chosen from Phase 1 of the JOULES-1K program which show the most promise of developing novel energy storage to support drones, robots, Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and other applications that would benefit from ultra-high-density storage systems.
Funding will support the project team's small-scale research and development of a "hot-plasma-cold-spray" process to convert natural gas directly into nano-graphene thin films for battery electrodes.
The Technologies to Emend and Obviate SYnthetic Nitrogen’s Toll on Emissions (TEOSYNTE) program supports projects that focus on plant and microbial bio-design strategies that reduce the need to apply synthetic nitrogen fertilizer on corn and sorghum fields while maintaining crop yields.
The Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now (NEWTON) program will support the research and development of technologies that enable the transmutation of used nuclear fuel to reduce the impact of storage in permanent disposal facilities.
The Realize Energy-rich Compound Opportunities Valorizing Extraction from Refuse waters - (RECOVER) program seeks to create new ways to extract cri…
This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to further advance their solution for effectively managing complex fluoride salt waste from reactors under the Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems (ONWARDS) program.
Funding will support the project team's small-scale research and development of an ultrahigh-temperature stable plasma (USP) platform to produce hi…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Coppin State University (CSU) to advance renewable energy technologi…
