$152 Million from the Department of Energy for three separate announcements
- $34M for Clean Hydrogen.
This will fund 19 industry- and university-led research projects to make clean hydrogen more available and affordable.
- $70M for Research Training in Historically Underrepresented Institutions.
The funding, through our Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) initiative, will support internships, training programs, and mentor opportunities at 65 different institutions, including 40 higher-learning institutions that serve minority populations.
- $48M for Grid Modernization.
Three states and nine tribal nations will receive this funding to modernize the electric grid against climate-driven extreme weather and natural disasters. This is the 6th cohort of our Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grant program.
