This week, OCED awarded six projects across two programs committing more than $660 million of federal funding. 👏 OCED issued two grant awards in Alaska under the rural and remote program. The first plans to install air-source heat pumps in 240 tribally owned homes and community facilities on Prince of Wales Island—a location only accessible by small aircraft or ferry. The second plans to improve energy resilience in the Arctic Circle by upgrading the region’s power plant infrastructure to enable the integration of a 525 kW solar photovoltaic system and a 990 kWh battery energy storage system. 🔋 OCED also awarded four projects under the Industrial Demonstrations Program: ▪️ Diageo plans to partner with Rondo Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to upgrade beverage facilities by replacing natural gas-fired heat with Rondo Heat Batteries, electric boilers, and other thermal solutions. ▪️ ExxonMobil aims to enable the use of hydrogen in place of natural gas across high heat-fired equipment using new burner technologies for ethylene production, a chemical feedstock used in manufacturing. ▪️ Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. plans to demonstrate the viability of Via Separations’ membrane technology to potentially scale across other domestic pulp and paper mills and other industrial sectors, such as chemical manufacturing. ▪️ Technip Energies in partnership with LanzaTech plans to use a biotech-based carbon recycling process and low carbon intensity hydrogen to create sustainable ethanol and ethylene. 🏆 Learn more about all this week’s awarded projects: https://lnkd.in/eDj4Hu4k Stay up-to-date on all future awards, funding opportunities, news announcements, upcoming events, and more, subscribe to our newsletter today 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDJVVENA
