DOE Announces $150 Million in Open Funding for Research Projects

Summary:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $150 million in open funding for research projects focused on increasing efficiency and curbing carbon emissions from energy technologies and manufacturing. This funding will support research underpinning the DOE's Energy Earthshots Initiatives, which set goals for significant improvements in clean energy technology within a decade, including hydrogen, long-duration storage, and carbon capture and sequestration. This research is fundamental to the climate solutions that will be critical to reaching President Biden’s goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Energy Earthshots are designed to drive integrated program development across the DOE’s science and applied energy offices and ARPA-E; take an "all R&D community" approach to leading science and technology innovations to address tough technological challenges and cost hurdles; and rapidly advance solutions to help achieve our climate and economic competitiveness goals.
