...Development — Increase investments in research and development of innovations that reduce agricultural nitrous oxide emissions, such as through the support of targeted research programs like the Agriculture Advanced Research and Development Authority (AGARDA), more long-term, on-farm research trials and improvements to nitrous oxide measurements.  Fertilizer Innovation Demonstration and Deployment — Explore pathways to encourage deploying cutting-edge innovations for reducing...

...greater than anything we’ve seen in recent history. Not only will developers be able to grow the domestic supply of low-carbon energy and the industrial sector be able to decarbonize its operations, together we can advance the next generation of cleaner energy technologies that could solve both the near-term global energy and geopolitical crisis and the long-term climate change challenge....

...demonstration projects have received 100 times less funding than other clean firm technologies like advanced nuclear, storage, or carbon capture. Congress could consider amplifying federal support for EGS demonstration projects and geothermal user facilities like Utah’s Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE), so that American companies can maintain their leadership edge. 3. Codify critical DOE materials science research...

...creative X-prizes on removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Specifically, it included the following two bills: The Launching Energy Advancement and Development through Innovations in Natural Gas (LEADING) Act) directing DOE to conduct critical carbon capture research and development for natural gas power plant applications; and the The part of the Fossil Energy Research and Development Act provides DOE with...

...law refocuses the DOE’s research and development (R&D) programs on the most pressing challenges — scaling up flexible, 24/7 clean energy technologies. Refocusing and modernizing key research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) programs is essential to securing our nation’s role as a global technology innovation leader while facilitating a cleaner, more reliable, and affordable domestic electricity supply for the American public....

...by LNG. Federal support for early-stage research combined with private-sector commercialization is rapidly advancing innovative technologies. These investments, supported by programs authorized by the Energy Act of 2020 and signed into law by President Trump funding from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and reinforced by President Trump’s latest executive orders, are building an energy future anchored in...

...Waste Control Specialists - Below Surface Disposal Next door in Andrews, Texas, is Waste Control Specialists (WCS), a low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) treatment, storage and disposal facility. WCS supports the Department of Energy (DOE), private entities, nuclear power plants across the U.S., hospitals and universities. The waste accepted here includes materials from research facilities, hospitals extracting isotopes for diagnosis and...

Senate confirms Hanson’s second term The Senate voted 81-17 to confirm Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chair Christopher Hanson to another five-year term. Hanson received bipartisan support including Senate Environment and Public Works Ranking Member Capito...

...storage may play. There is a need particularly to move beyond lithium ion for energy storage and batteries, due both to their lack of long-term durability and their inclusion of cobalt, which is mined mainly under the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s dubious safety and child labor laws.   EIA: U.S. RENEWABLE, GAS POWER ON THE RISE   Long-term storage...

...HA-LEU to U.S. advanced reactor developers from DOE stockpiles until a new long-term supply is developed. Advanced fuels and materials will also need a reliable testing ground. NELA directs DOE to construct a fast neutron research facility that is necessary to test reactor components and demonstrate their safe and reliable operation. Currently, the only machines capable of producing a fast...
