DOE Announces $590 Million To Increase Bioenergy Research

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $590 million to renew its four existing Bioenergy Research Centers (BRCs). This funding will help support the Department’s research into the next generation of sustainable, cost-effective bioproducts and bioenergy from domestic biomass resources, which is critical to reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring future energy security, and creating new economic opportunities in rural areas. Since their inception, the BRCs have made groundbreaking scientific contributions to and advancements in biotechnology that are helping to expand the diversity of reliable domestic clean energy sources and ensuring the United States reaches President Biden’s ambitious goal of net-zero emissions economy by 2050.

Generating Hydrogen At Scale: An interview with Verdagy CEO Marty Neese

As we progress through the energy transition, it is becoming clear that green hydrogen will play a critical role in the decarbonisation of the industrial landscape as it is expected to become a primary source of clean energy for almost 20 percent of the global power supply. But how can it be made attainable to large industry and efficient at such a large scale?

Verdagy is designing and engineering large-scale electrolysers that generate hydrogen at scale, driving economics that make it easier for industry to replace fossil fuel with hydrogen.

REM talked to Verdagy CEO Marty Neese to find out more.
