U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selection of 15 projects to develop technologies aimed at safely and economically storing carbon dioxide in geologic formations. Funded with $21.3 million over three years, today's selections will complement existing DOE initiatives to help develop the technology and infrastructure to implement large-scale CO2 storage in different geologic formations across the Nation. The projects selected today will support the goals of helping reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, developing and deploying near-zero-emission coal technologies and making the U.S. a leader in mitigating climate change. "The projects announced today are part of this Administration's commitment to leading the world in carbon capture and storage technology," said Secretary Chu. "These projects will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, develop clean energy innovation and help produce jobs for Americans across the Nation."

U.S. announces up to $25 million for high-speed passenger rail research
Section: News
Category: Energy Savings
2010-08-10 15:45:42
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is soliciting research proposals to foster rapid development of high-speed and intercity passenger rail service technologies in the United States. A pool of $25 million is available for basic and applied technology research, development and demonstration projects to advance the state of the art in track and structures, train control systems, operating practices and rolling stock. FRA is seeking projects focused on accelerating development of technologies that ensure safe, efficient and strategic deployment of integrated passenger rail systems. The solicitation is open to all sources. "President Obama's bold vision for high-speed rail is a game-changer for transportation in the United States," said Secretary LaHood. "This undertaking is not only creating good jobs and reinvigorating our manufacturing base, it's also going to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels."

United States announces $30 million for energy-efficient housing partnerships
Section: News
Category: Energy Savings
2010-07-25 23:38:46
The U.S. Department of Energy today announced 15 research and deployment partnerships to help dramatically improve the energy efficiency of American homes. These highly-qualified, multidisciplinary teams will receive a total of up to $30 million for the initial eighteen months of the projects to deliver innovative energy efficiency strategies to the residential market and address barriers to bringing high-efficiency homes within reach for all Americans. A total of up to $20 million per year will also be made available for the partnerships for three potential one-year extensions. These research and deployment partnerships will provide technical assistance to retrofit projects and will leverage industry expertise and funding to support DOE's energy efficiency retrofit programs. This effort will support the Department's Retrofit Ramp-Up initiative, announced by Vice President Joe Biden in April, which brings communities, governments, private sector companies and non-profit organizations together to deliver energy-efficiency upgrades - or retrofits - to whole neighborhoods and cities.

Scientist Michael Mann exonerated by Penn State University
Section: News

2010-07-05 06:10:04
Today's announcement by Penn State University that climate scientist Michael Mann has been cleared of all scientific misconduct charges should put an end to the baseless attacks on Mann and his research, including the ongoing investigation by Virginia's attorney general, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). "Michael Mann has been the target of political attacks from members of Congress, industry-funded groups, and now Virginia's attorney general," said Francesca Grifo, director of the Scientific Integrity Program at UCS. "This harassment has succeeded only in wasting taxpayer dollars and distracting Dr. Mann and other scientists from doing valuable research. It's time for it to stop." Penn State first responded in February to allegations of scientific misconduct against Mann stemming from emails stolen from the University of East Anglia last fall. The university's investigatory committee cleared Mann on three allegations but decided to gather more information to determine whether Mann had adhered to "accepted practices" within the academic community that studies climate change.

United States announces $24 million for algal biofuels research
Section: News

2010-06-29 03:29:15
The U.S. Department of Energy announced today the investment of up to $24 million for three research groups to tackle key hurdles in the commercialization of algae-based biofuels. The selections will support the development of a clean, sustainable transportation sector - a goal of the Department's continued effort to spur the creation of the domestic bio-industry while creating jobs. Developing cost-effective renewable transportation fuels is a key component of the Administration's strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions and move the Nation toward energy independence. "Partnerships such as these focus the creative powers of the public, private, and academic sectors on key challenges facing the development of renewable energy for transportation," said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Cathy Zoi. "The United States must find effective ways to hasten the development of technologies for advanced biofuels made from algae and other renewable resources to reduce our need for foreign sources of oil." Zoi made the announcement while speaking today at the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) 2010 World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioprocessing.
