by Erin Voegele (Biomass Magazine) The U.S. Department of Energy on July 7 announced $52.5 million to fund 31 projects to advance next-generation clean hydrogen technologies. Two of the funded projects focus specifically on the production of hydrogen from biobased feedstocks.
According to the DOE, the 31 selected projects support the agency’s recently announced Hydrogen Energy Earthshot, a part of the DOE’s Energy Earthshots Initiative that aims to accelerate breakthroughs of more abundant, affordable and reliable clean energy solutions within the decade. The Hydrogen Earthshot aims to reduce the cost of hydrogen by 80 percent, to $1 per kilogram over the next 10 years.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is backing five projects to develop advanced nuclear reactor designs to be built in the United States by private industry. Under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy s US$30 million initial funding is expected to grow to US$600 million over seven years with industry providing an additional 20 percent.
DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program awards $30M in initial funding for risk reduction projects
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $30 million in initial funding to five teams for projects under one of three programs Risk Reduction for Future Demonstration in the new Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). The awards are cost-shared partnerships with industry, and companies were chosen through a funding opportunity announcement issued in May 2020.
ARDP is designed to help domestic private industry demonstrate advanced nuclear reactors in the United States. DOE expects to invest approximately $600 million over seven years with industry partners providing at least 20% in matching funds.
