The US Department of Energy (DOE) will provide up to $100 million in funding for the second round of transformational energy research projects to be supported by the Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
ARPA-E’s first solicitation, announced earlier this year, was highly competitive and resulted in awarding $151 million [...]
The US Department of Energy has selected three new projects with a total value of $3.18 billion to accelerate the development of advanced coal technologies with carbon capture and storage at commercial-scale. DOE’s investment of up to $979 million, including funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will [...]
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 integrated biorefinery projects to receive up to $564 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to accelerate the construction and operation of pilot, demonstration, and commercial scale facilities. The projects selected are to produce advanced biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts [...]
The Philippine Department of Energy has been conducting fuel economy runs since 2002 promoting fuel economy consciousness and consumer empowerment by obtaining data on actual fuel consumption of passenger vehicles based on the actual driving conditions employing fuel efficiency measures and techniques.
The First DOE E10 Fuel Economy Run, to [...]
The US Department of Energy is awarding $620 million for projects around the country to demonstrate advanced Smart Grid technologies and integrated systems. These 32 demonstration projects, which include large-scale energy storage, smart meters, distribution and transmission system monitoring devices, plug-in vehicles, and a range of other smart technologies, [...]
Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. is working with CHOREN, a Biomass-to-Liquids (BTL) technology company, to optimize energy crops for thermochemical conversion to advanced low-carbon biofuels. The two-year bioenergy project is funded in part by a grant from the US Department of Energy. The thermochemical process does not require [...]
A study by researchers at Oklahoma State University concluded that of four perennial grasses that could be grown as dedicated biofuel feedstock crops—bermudagrass, flaccidgrass, switchgrass, and weeping lovegrass—switchgrass is the most efficient in terms of dry biomass per dollar cost.
An earlier US Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of [...]
