DOE awards $22.1M to 10 nuclear technology projects including clean hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

million to 10 industry-led projects to advance nuclear technologies, including two aimed at expanding clean hydrogen production with nuclear energy. A well-established downstream syngas-to-synfuel conversion process, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, converts the syngas to liquid synfuel for a total projected cost of less than $4/gallon.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.
