DOE seeds carbon capture tech deployment with $4.9b in funding

The funding supports three programs to demonstrate and deploy carbon capture systems, along with carbon transport and storage infrastructure.

Which hydrogen production method is lowest cost?

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) released new report findings on the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) and CO2 life cycle emissions of select hydrogen production plants.

DOE work leads to superalloys that stand up to power plant cycling

A six-year project backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and involving Energy Industries of Ohio Inc. and other partners has led to the manufacture of commercial-scale nickel superalloy components that are needed to enable higher-efficiency thermal power plants. The Advanced Ultra-Supercritical (AUSC) Component Testing (ComTest) Project aimed to fabricate full commercial-scale components to enable plants to operate with greater efficiency

Report highlights challenges for clean hydrogen future

Clean Hydrogen production and use must increase by 50-fold, from 10 million tons per year to more than 500 million tons per year by 2050, if U.S. decarbonization goals are to be met.
