...of LNG in the world. The U.S. is also a leader in the research and development (R&D) of key low-carbon technologies like CCUS, direct air capture (DAC), and hydrogen. The R&D was catalyzed by the Energy Act of 2020 and the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, which infused nearly $12 billion into carbon management programs and...
...U.S. reactors, the UK commitment to nuclear as a core part of their net-zero plans, the French recommitment to not only maintain but potentially enhance their nuclear fleet, and the Japanese announcement about restarting their fleet to meet their decarbonization goals. India has finally come to the table with a long-term, zero-carbon aspiration of net-zero by 2070. While that seems...
...wells, referred to as Class VI, was developed in 2010 for the injection of carbon dioxide into deep rock formations for long-term geologic sequestration. How can we be sure that injecting and storing carbon dioxide is safe and it remains in place? First of all, the carbon dioxide is injected well below sources of drinking water and is permanently sealed...
...new fast-spectrum research facility at a national lab, similar to the Advanced Test Reactor at the Idaho National Lab, which is used for research using slower neutrons (known as “thermal spectrum”). Essential facility for commercial and research use The VTR is essential for both accelerating commercial development of advanced reactor designs and for expanding the frontier of future nuclear energy...
Wrongly perceived as unachievable, capture carbon is on the cusp of major development. A natural gas power plant in California. A coal power plant in North Dakota. A cement facility in Colorado. A new Louisiana LNG terminal. A Texas facility that sucks up carbon dioxide straight from the air. Dozens of new carbon capture project proposals are sprouting up across...
...as much as 20% in the final evaluation criteria. While community engagement remains an important consideration for long-term project viability, assigning such a high weight to non-technical factors created an unnecessary hurdle for many applicants, especially smaller firms and first-time participants in DOE programs. The revised solicitation prioritizes four policy factors, weighing them equally to assess the applicant’s ability to...
...competitors are bringing enormous resources to bear in an effort to dominate these markets, which requires the United States to be more agile and strategic in order to advance our long-term goals. But with the right policies in place, and in coordinated action with partners around the world, our energy and climate future will be bright, at home and abroad....
...the first time, according to new preliminary estimates released by the research firm Rhodium Group. But, cheering on that good news of emissions reductions is part of the climate trap. Achieving these reductions resulted from the global economy screeching to a halt. Yet these numbers are creating the long-term perception that using less power and manufacturing less is key to...
...in collaboration with the American private sector. But our energy innovation investments don’t match the level of potential impact. We’re leading the world in both energy and medical research, another area rife with enormous challenges but also rewards. But despite both sectors contributing the same 8% to our GDP, we’re spending far more on health than energy R&D. 4. We...
...decades to come, reducing GHG emissions at home as well as abroad. What did the NPC find? The study found that meaningfully reducing NGSC emissions is an important challenge that will require long-term and close collaboration among U.S. industry, government and researchers to develop a variety of supportive federal and state policies that encourage public-private, technology-based partnerships. The study provides...
