Reaching Zero with Renewables
Energy emissions from industry and transport could be cut to zero by 2060 with pro-active policies and investments. Renewables will be crucial
Why this promising biofuel crop takes a summer break
Michigan State University researchers have solved a puzzle that could help switchgrass realize its full potential as a low-cost, sustainable biofuel crop and curb our dependence on fossil fuels.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) empowers energy companies and aviation stakeholders by supporting advances in research, development, and demonstration to overcome barriers for widespread deployment of low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Energy crops reduce carbon emissions – if grown on the right land
The nation’s top energy official visited the University of Wisconsin–Madison Friday to see how scientists at the federally-funded Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center are working to turn plants into sustainable and economical replacements for fossil fuels and petrochemicals.
Secretary of Energy touts biofuel's role in clean energy transition
The nation’s top energy official visited the University of Wisconsin–Madison Friday to see how scientists at the federally-funded Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center are working to turn plants into sustainable and economical replacements for fossil fuels and petrochemicals.
Bamboo could be a game changer in renewable energy. Here's how
A recent study conducted by the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Science sheds light on the transformative potential of bamboo in revolutionising the renewable energy sector. These plants could become the next game-changer for renewable energy as the world seeks to find out urgent sources to tackle the imminent challenges in the global ecosystem, such as climate change.
USDA to invest heavily in biofuel infrastructure
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says USDA plans to invest up to $500 million in biofuel infrastructure projects. On Monday he released the first set of 59 projects intended to increase the availability of domestic biofuels. Funding for the initiative will come from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Ford Gets $9.2 Billion to Help US Catch Up With China’s EV Dominance
A deep-pocketed US government program designed to finance futuristic energy businesses is issuing a conditional $9.2 billion loan to Ford Motor Co. for the construction of three battery factories. The enormous loan — by far the biggest government backing for a US automaker since the bailouts in the 2009 financial crisis — marks a watershed moment for President Joe Biden’s aggressive industrial policy meant to help American manufacturers catch up to China in green technologies.
Humans are pumping out so much groundwater that it's changing Earth's tilt
Earth's tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet's interior.
Sustainable Transportation Program
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL’s) Sustainable Transportation Program is accelerating the pace of research and development (R&D) for efficient, safe, secure, and environmentally friendly transportation. The program delivers scientific discoveries and technical breakthroughs that accelerate the development and deployment of transportation technologies and create economic opportunity for the nation. By leveraging the National Transportation Research Center (NTRC)—the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) only dedicated user facility focused on transportation—researchers identify capabilities for next-generation systems in electrification, engines and emissions controls; develop new materials for future systems and data science and automated vehicle technologies; provide decision-making tools and intelligent technologies for secure, efficient movement of passengers and freight; and create economic opportunity by improving the energy efficiency of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. The program aligns with the goals of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office to provide low cost, secure, and clean energy technologies to move people and goods across America.
