The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced more than $540 million in awards for university- and National Laboratory-led research into clean energy technologies and low-carbon manufacturing. Most greenhouse-gas emissions come from the production and use of energy, so building strong scientific foundations for reducing emissions across the energy lifecycle is crucial to meeting President Biden’s goal of creating a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
The awardees include researchers at 54 universities and 11 National Laboratories across 34 states and the District of Columbia. Other institutions receiving funding include Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio; Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire; the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado; the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder); and Ames N
