Advancing clean energy technology 🔋 The DOE Office of Technology Transitions awarded Sandia $7.4 million to develop seven projects that focus on reducing CO2 emissions to net zero, expanding wind and wave energy, and partnering Sandia with startups and academia to find solutions to community-based energy challenges. “One of the reasons I think Sandia is so great for this is that it really is community-focused and it’s a small town with big aspirations,” said Vanessa Chan, the chief commercialization officer and director of DOE’s OTT office. “The work you do here just blows my mind.” Read more about the funded projects: https://bit.ly/3xHbRgk

This week in Advancing America through Tech Transfer we highlight National Renewable Energy Laboratory and how thought Energy Systems Integration they are able to advance grid technology. They were able to demonstrate the efficacy of this technology when they more than doubled Hawaii's solar power ceiling, which helped lead their transition to a highly electric grid. #TechTransfer #Grid #EnergyTransition

Today U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced 20 projects that have been selected for the 19th cohort of the Energy I-Corps program. The Energy I-Corps program delivers intensive workforce development training and funding to our National Lab researchers to support clean energy technology commercialization. 📣��📈 Congratulations to the selected teams and thank you to our sponsors! 🎉 Learn more about the projects selected 🔗 https://bit.ly/3zb6KVZ

Last week, Director Vanessa Z Chan visited Sandia National Laboratories to announce the selections of the Fiscal Year 2024 Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) CLIMR lab call. The selections represent over $41 million in federal funding going to support 50 innovative projects across 17 National Labs. This announcement was monumental as it marks the highest funding to be announced in the history of TCF Base as well as the largest number of participating U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program offices. 🌍🌱 Dr. Chan and Mary Monson Senior Manager for Technology Partnerships and Business Development at Sandia, shared remarks which were followed by a panel of local experts. The panel discussed the impact of TCF Base’s past projects within their local community in Albuquerque, and the community’s hope for continued involvement in the future. Additionally, OTT’s 2024 Technology Commercialization Interns attended the event for the opportunity to network with DOE leaders and to share in this pivotal milestone in #techtransfer at DOE. Thank you, Sandia National Lab for hosting, event attendees for joining, and congratulations to all selected project awardees! 🔗https://bit.ly/3KWchmc #CleanEnergy #Innovation #DOE #TechCommercialization #Interns #STEM

This morning, Director Vanessa Z Chan participated in a fireside chat with Anthony Hobley of Howden Group at the 2024 De-risking Summit as part of #LondonClimateActionWeek 2024. 🏙️🤝🌎 They discussed how the insurance industry can support the energy transition to make it successful and spoke about the tools that DOE Office of Technology Transitions has published to help with those efforts, such as the Adoption Readiness Level framework 🔗 https://bit.ly/3Jkgoad 🛠️💪🍃 #LCAW2024 #EnergyTransition #TechTransfer

Join us for an insightful webinar on FENIX, an advanced open-source multiphysics tool designed to accelerate fusion energy deployment. FENIX, short for Fusion ENergy Integrated multiphys-X, is a powerful framework that enhances the modeling and simulation of plasma-facing components, crucial for fusion systems. Developed under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s NEAMS program, FENIX utilizes the robust MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment) framework. Key Highlights: ✨Advanced Capabilities: FENIX integrates various MOOSE capabilities, including heat transfer, thermomechanics, thermal hydraulics, electromagnetics, and plasma kinetics. 🛠️Specialized Applications: Coupling with MOOSE-based applications such as Cardinal (for neutronics) and TMAP8 (for tritium transport). 🤝Collaborative Development: Learn how FENIX's modularity, open-source nature, rigorous software quality assurance, and flexible licensing foster effective collaborations, including public-private partnerships Why Attend? Discover how FENIX can help you understand and model complex interactions in fusion systems, aiding in the design, safety analysis, and performance evaluation of advanced energy technologies. 📅 June 26th at 2:00 PM ET 🔗 https://bit.ly/3KZL4Pe Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge tools that are shaping the future of sustainable fusion energy!
