The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program is a 10-week summer internship for undergraduate and graduate students in STEM majors. Participants complete a cutting-edge research project at one of the Department’s National Laboratories or DOE Headquarters in support of FECM’s mission of reducing the environmental and climate impacts of fossil fuels and industrial processes while working to achieve net-zero emissions.
Learn more about this opportunity by attending one of the virtual information sessions. Applications are due January 22, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Collegiate students and faculty interested in energy and entrepreneurship are invited to participate in the EnergyTech University Prize (EnergyTech UP) 2024! This is a $400,000+ collegiate competition challenging student teams to develop and present a business plan that leverages National Laboratory-developed or other emerging energy technologies developed by students, faculty, or industry. Plus, FECM is proud to sponsor a $25,000 bonus prize to students presenting business plans around carbon dioxide removal.
New to the 2024 competition is a track challenging faculty to develop and implement educational activities to engage more students in energy technology commercialization and entrepreneurship topics while competing for $100,000. Ready to learn more? Join an upcoming faculty track informational webinar on Nov. 15 at 4 p.m. ET to gain a better understanding of how the competition works and how to support participate as a faculty team or student team mentor.

DOE announced $36 million for 11 projects across 8 states to accelerate the development of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) capture and storage technologies. Funded through DOE's Sensing Exports of Anthropogenic Carbon through Ocean Observation (SEA-CO2) program, these projects will support novel efforts to measure, report, and validate mCDR and identify cost-effective and energy efficient carbon removal solutions.
