The US Department of Energy (DoE) has just announced a pot of money for hydrogen car development.
According to the release there will be, "10 cost-shared hydrogen storage research and development projects, which will receive up to $15.3m over five years (see below), subject to annual appropriations." Which isn't bad.
These projects are part of Hydrogen Fuel…
This morning Greenbang stumbled over a press release bearing the excellent title of Department of Energy to Pursue Zero-Net Energy Commercial Buildings. Last time Greenbang looked, buildings don’t move ever so fast, so she’s presuming that it’s not a high speed pursuit and the DoE has a good chance of catching the wily bricks and…
Greenbang is wondering what's carbon capture's secret. Not the technological secret, more the secret of how it's sucking in money like a back hole sucks in the Starship Enterprise and/or Doctor Who.
The last few times that Greenbang has written the words 'carbon' and 'capture' and 'storage' she seems to have been groping for the $…
If you fancy wrapping your fingers around the environmental cash teats and milking the green cash cow that is the Department of Energy, you'll need to warm your hands with a spot of geothermal energy.
The DoE has got $90 million stored in its udders, ready to distribute over four years for R&D into speeding up…
Greenbang wonders how effective green car marketing really is. Every time someone says hybrid, she doesn't think of the clean tech, she thinks of that weird mouse that had a human ear attached to its back in the name of science. She thinks about that mouse a lot. Like, where is he now? Did the…
Greenbang has always wondered about the term memorandum of understanding. How understanding do you have to be?
If your co-signer turns up half-cut at 3 am in the morning wanting a party and you've got to get up early the next day, do you have to be understanding then? Let them in, have a shot of…
Greenbang is now officially scared by the US Department of Energy's neverending stream grants for whichever renewable energy trend passes under their wonks' noses.
Are DoE grants like microbes? You leave one in a room an then when you comeback in an hour they've multiplied to eye-watering numbers?
Greenbang hasn’t counted them up recently, but there's certainly…
Much like Russell Brand, it looks like the Department of Energy isn't afraid of sharing the love. (Greenbang's already noted its grant-dispersing frenzy here) It seems that there's little the DoE isn't prepared to fund in terms of renewable energy: hydro, solar, biofuels - a strategy that suggests it's kind of prepared to kiss a…
Someone, somewhere at the US Department of Energy has got a little bit mixed up. They're confusing renewable energy grants with Panini stickers and trying to go for a whole set.
In its pantheon of grants, the DoE can list biomass with $7 million, it's got solar with $13.7 million, and it's got smart grids at…
Truly, the US Department of Energy must have captured a dirty great Leprechaun farm and then successfully managed to GPS its way to the end of the rainbow. How else can you explain the never-ending cash it pulls out of its back pocket to fund whatever renewable energy trend happens to flit through its collective…
