US Department of Energy funding $25 million to promote clean energy
According to foreign media reports, the US Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a groundbreaking plan to allocate $25 million through the Clean Energy Community (C2C) partnership project. These funds are aimed at supporting decarbonization strategies and developing clean energy solutions for six community teams in the United States. Governments, power companies, and community organizations across the United States will work closely with technical experts from multiple national laboratories under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Energy, utilizing $8 million in incentive funds and an additional $17 million in technology funding. Their mission is to research, simulate, and implement clean energy systems that are not only reliable, affordable, but also more equitable and closely related to the priorities of their respective communities.
By promoting the development of clean energy solutions, the announcement released by the US Department of Energy emphasizes the unwavering commitment of the US government to ensure that the transition to a clean energy future benefits all communities, regardless of their location. This plan also plays a crucial role in advancing the ambitious climate goals set by US President Biden.
US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Graham emphasized, "The US government is committed to ensuring that our clean energy future benefits every American, whether they are in urban centers or rural areas. By connecting communities with the innovative tools and expertise of our national laboratory, the US Department of Energy is laying the foundation for the partnerships needed to help turn local clean energy goals and aspirations into reality
The Clean Energy Community (C2C) program provides comprehensive technology partnerships and promotes collaboration with experts from multiple national laboratories of the US Department of Energy. These partnerships enable communities to make informed decisions about their energy needs and address key challenges in renewable energy, mobility, grid management, and building sustainability, thereby reducing the risks associated with clean energy deployment.
The following are the community teams and projects selected by the US Department of Energy:
(1) Chicago, Illinois: The Chicago Metropolitan Planning Bureau, Edison United Electric Company, and the Chicago Respiratory Health Association collaborate to improve tools and analysis, aiming to achieve net zero emissions from transportation by 2050. These enhanced tools will provide valuable insights for the region to understand the opportunities and challenges brought by low-carbon transportation technologies, including electrification of passenger and freight vehicles, as well as energy-saving travel options. They will also evaluate cross departmental interactions with the power grid.
(2) Colorado Springs, Colorado: The Colorado Springs Utility Company, Colorado Springs Energy Resource Center, Colorado Springs Housing and Construction Association, and the Colorado construction industry are collaborating to validate the concept of aggregating electricity across complex energy systems, including virtual power plants. This initiative will support the deployment of a large number of photovoltaic systems, grid connected buildings, electric vehicles, and other distributed resources.
(3) Delaware Valley in Pennsylvania and New Jersey: The mission of the Delaware Valley District Planning Board, Philadelphia Power Company, Barks County Opportunity Board, Delaware County Community Action Agency, and Montgomery County Community Action Development Board is to identify the most influential clean energy solutions for the Delaware Valley region. Their goal is to establish a regional clean energy activation center and simplify the procurement of identified technologies in over 200 cities.
(4) Molokai Island, Hawaii: The Hawaii State Energy Office, Hawaii Power Company, Molokai Island Energy Cooperation Company, Molokai Island Clean Energy Association, and Shake Energy Partnership are jointly developing and validating a series of renewable energy power generation projects that can meet 100% of Molokai Island's electricity demand while maintaining community value.
(5) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The Pittsburgh City Government, Pittsburgh Department of Urban Planning, Duke Lighting, and the Green Building Alliance are planning to deploy smart power energy zones as part of a comprehensive approach to achieving a clean and affordable power system. These areas integrate intelligent energy infrastructure, including rooftop photovoltaics, household appliances, residential buildings, battery storage systems, and electric vehicle chargers, which can synergistically meet the power grid and community needs of the entire city and surrounding areas.
(6) Sitka, Alaska: The Sitka City Government, Sitka City Power Department, Alaska Renewable Energy Project, and Mt Edgecumbe High School are optimizing existing hydropower and planned photovoltaic, wind, and energy storage projects. They will also explore the potential of using clean energy to produce ammonia, with the aim of reducing energy costs and carbon emissions for local households and businesses.
The C2C project has established a successful pilot partnership with Fairbanks, Alaska, to assist local leaders and power companies in the region in identifying innovative methods to expand the production and utilization of clean energy, while ensuring reliability before the planned closure of coal-fired power plants. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States has won the prestigious R&D 100 Award for developing a simulation and simulation platform for implementing pilot projects.
Recent community clean energy solutions implemented across the United States:
In addition to announcing significant funding, the US Department of Energy also revealed that it will provide support to over 50 communities in 25 states and Puerto Rico through expert matching projects at C2C. This project provides customized technical assistance for 40 to 60 hours to help communities and local leaders address current energy challenges.
Previous collaborations under this plan included collaborating with Black Farmers Cooperative to plan and install photovoltaic systems for farms and churches in Florida, assisting in the construction of the first municipal owned floating photovoltaic system in Cohoes, New York, and evaluating plans to renovate historic buildings.
Peer collaborative learning opportunities to promote clean energy strategies:
The US Department of Energy has also announced the upcoming topics to be discussed by the C2C peer learning group. These groups will convene approximately 10-15 communities within six months to exchange strategies and best practices, while also learning from each other and learning from experts from multiple national laboratories of the US Department of Energy. The topics of these discussions include:
·Evaluate and prioritize energy efficiency and decarbonization investments in municipal buildings.
·Enhance the resilience of key municipal facilities through photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, and microgrids.
·Design participation to shape the electrification of transportation in the entire community.
