Funding Updates
DOE Readies Lab-Developed Innovations for Market with over $6.1 Million from Commercial Fund
Seven projects will share more than $6.1 million to reduce embodied carbon and operational energy from materials, buildings, and industrial processes. The supported projects are part of a Technology Commercialization Fund Lab Call from EERE’s Building Technologies Office, Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office, and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Offices.
Funding Available to Seed Water Power Research at Minority-Serving Institutions
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) and the Minority-Serving Institutions STEM Research and Development Consortium released a $1.2 million funding opportunity to support high-impact, water power research ideas from minority-serving colleges and universities. This program is part of WPTO’s “Seedlings for Universities” initiative to seed research and development activities in academic institutions that do not have significant existing water power research portfolios.
DOE Selects Energy Service Companies to Help Federal Agencies Achieve Efficiency and Decarbonization Goals
DOE unlocked billions of dollars in private capital to improve the efficiency of federal facilities, awarding energy saving performance contracts (ESPCs) to 20 energy service companies to provide energy savings performance contracts for federal agencies. Since 1998, more than 30 federal agencies have used ESPCs to help fund decarbonization projects across the United States.
