DoE

It is supporting ‘high risk and potentially disruptive’ new electric vehicle battery, data centre efficiency, grid modernisation, emissions mitigation and storage technologies

It is also supporting the creation of a consortium dedicated to developing control technologies for a modernised electric grid

The funding will support bioenergy as well as hydrogen and fuel cell technologies

The funding will support research and development related to offshore oil, natural gas, wind and marine hydrokinetic energy production, with a focus on safety, environmental monitoring and operational improvements

Projects will also develop new manufacturing processes that ensure turbine blades can withstand the extreme operating environments commonly found in natural gas turbines in both the aviation and power generation sectors

The issuances extend each project’s LNG export authorisation to both free trade and non-free trade agreement countries through 31st December 2050

They will continue to work together on scientific discoveries, including the development of nuclear power and propulsion systems for the Moon and Mars

The projects are expected to help improve existing recycling processes that break plastics into chemical building blocks, which can then be used to make new products

It will drive collaboration on the Department of Energy’s activities in the Arctic region, including the development of advanced microgrids and nuclear power systems

It will support experiments, data analysis and computer modelling and simulation of plasma behaviour
