Welcome, Jeffrey (Jeff) Metcalf! We look forward to continuing to grow under your leadership.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), working alongside Energetics, has released a request for information (RFI) as part of its Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades (EES2) initiative, which aims to increase the overall energy efficiency of semiconductor applications by a factor of 1,000 over the next two decades. Semiconductors consume enormous and growing amounts of energy, largely via computing and communications. By 2030, computing alone could consume nearly 20% of planetary energy production. The RFI seeks feedback on the EES2 initiative and a draft R&D roadmap that accompanies the RFI. The roadmap was a cross-sector effort, synthesizing the insights of industry, academia, and national labs. It was informed by a series of 10 working group meetings facilitated by Energetics staff, who also assisted with literature review, writing/editing, and graphics development.

"It's basically concrete, but carbon negative. If we're very optimistic, it could affect as much as 7% of world emissions while being economically competitive.” That’s how NREL lead researcher Paul Meyer describes the cement-based concrete alternative their team has been studying. The team’s work revolves around lignin, an abundant material and waste byproduct that may be the key to finding a sustainable, stronger, cost-effective, and carbon-negative replacement for traditional cement.

📣 #Prize alert! The U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office is planning to announce a new Industrial Energy Storage System Prize soon! This upcoming prize will help accelerate market adoption of cost-effective energy storage technologies for industrial applications and data centers.  We’re looking for concepts that will enable time shifting of either electric or thermal energy demand, through the use of thermal energy storage across a range of temperatures of industrial applications, enabling on-site or near-site clean energy to fully meet the heat or power demands of industrial processes. This prize will include the following categories:  ·      Industrial cooling energy storage  ·      High temperature industrial energy storage  ·      Industrial thermal storage for hybrid cooling, heating, and power. The new prize will launch soon—stay tuned for more details!  

Clean hydrogen is crucial for decarbonization efforts, but its cost can create barriers for implementation. To combat this, we've created the SERA model. Recently upgraded to better assess a diverse range of planning scenarios, this tool forecasts the most cost-effective way to build hydrogen infrastructure as demand grows over time, minimizing the cost of buildouts. Check out our recent article to learn more about SERA and the role it plays in shaping a greener tomorrow ➡️ https://bit.ly/4cSLN13 #CleanEnergy #Hydrogen #Science #Sustainability
