Our ideas focus on the biggest levers we have to achieve a cleaner energy system. We look to advance small government, free market reforms that make an impact.
Our Tech 101 series is designed to assist even the busiest professional in gaining an elementary grasp of the byzantine world of conservative clean energy.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a resource to be harnessed, from oil production and agriculture to critical minerals and advanced materials. Today, American innovators are expanding carbon’s role as a valuable domestic resource by using it to produce fuels, strengthen supply chains and create the materials that underpin our economy.
This 101 provides an overview of biochar, highlights recent research projects and presents policies that can help the U.S. continue producing, feeding the world and lowering emissions. Biochar is a highly stable carbon substance made by heating organic material, such as agricultural and forestry wastes (also called biomass), in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis.
American innovators need the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) – formerly known as the Loan Programs Office (LPO) – to play an integral role in scaling innovations of the future and providing access to capital not otherwise available to early-stage technologies.
What if we could harness the reaction at the core of the sun to generate power? For decades, scientists have been trying to do just that: create a fusion generator that could supply the world with unlimited clean electricity from hydrogen molecules found in seawater.
Pipelines are critical infrastructures that move essential resources, such as water, oil, natural gas and other materials, from where they are produced or gathered to locations where they can be used or stored. Pipelines are everywhere. They are found beneath our highways, through our cities and communities.

Blue carbon is the term used to describe the “watery” nature of carbon captured by the ocean and coastal ecosystems. Coastal blue carbon ecosystems refer to biomass-based coastal habitats, such as salt marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows, that store carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
