Fossil Energy (FE)-based modular power systems are a growing market that can meet the demand of rural and isolated areas both domestically and abroad. Many of these systems, also known as Radically Engineered Modular System (REMS), provide power and/or heat for farms, homes, and other industrial processes. The concept is to produce syngas (synthetic natural gas) from coal and readily available bio ...

The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research aims to develop next generation leadership class supercomputers which are used to analyze, simulate, model and predict complex phenomenon for numerous scientific and DOE mission critical applications- For affordable and scalable supercomputers, high-speed, distance independent and power efficient photonic interconnects will be a key enabling tec ...

Ensuring adequate agricultural productivity in the face of an increasing human population is a major concern with implications for both production of bioenergy products (Jones and Hinsinger, 2008) and global food security. Increasing agricultural productivity requires a stronger understanding of soil biogeochemical processes that impact plant nutrient availability. We propose development of an inn ...

Label-free sub-micron chemical imaging and spectroscopy has long been sought for visualization of biomolecules and materials in complex living systems- As stated in the DOE’s Biological and Environmental Research Program Office website, Bioimaging and measurement technologies that can resolve multiple key metabolic processes over time within or among cells will act as a crucial bridge toward lin ...

Access to clean, reliable water supplies is critical to our quality of life and our economy, yet across the country thousands of hazardous waste sites are so heavily contaminated that the un- derlying groundwater doesn’t meet drinking water standards- Measuring contamination in the environment is critical to human health and to understanding complex subsurface systems, but current testing is mos ...

This project addresses the need for reliable and efficient strategies for simulating the complex turbulent flows produced by next generation energy-related technologies, such as modern ground and air vehicles, flow control devices mounted on modern car and truck configurations that aim at substantial drag force reduction, wind and hydro turbines, among others- Understanding and accurately predicti ...

The development of breakthrough biotechnologies for the production of fuels and chemicals along with commercializing bioprocesses that are cost-competitive with existing petroleum-based processes will be necessary to establish a sustainable bio-based economy- Two crucial biotechnologies to achieve this include processes that can utilize all forms of carbon available in lignocellulosic feedstocks a ...

Society at large and DOE in particular have an interest in the continued development and refinement of a smart grid infrastructure that more efficiently and reliably matches electrical resources to demands. While technological advances in recent years have improved the smart grid, these advances have been limited by a lack of granularity of data (e.g. environmental conditions at multiple locations ...
