The US Department of Energy (DoE) has just announced a pot of money for hydrogen car development. According to the release there will be, “10 cost-shared hydrogen storage research and development projects, which will receive up to $15.3m over five years (see below), subject to annual appropriations.” Which isn’

This morning Greenbang stumbled over a press release bearing the excellent title of Department of Energy to Pursue Zero-Net Energy Commercial Buildings. Last time Greenbang looked, buildings don’t move ever so fast, so she’s presuming that it’s not a high speed pursuit and the DoE has a

Greenbang is wondering what’s carbon capture’s secret. Not the technological secret, more the secret of how it’s sucking in money like a back hole sucks in the Starship Enterprise and/or Doctor Who. The last few times that Greenbang has written the words ‘carbon’ and ‘capture’ and

If you fancy wrapping your fingers around the environmental cash teats and milking the green cash cow that is the Department of Energy, you’ll need to warm your hands with a spot of geothermal energy. The DoE has got $90 million stored in its udders, ready to distribute over

Greenbang wonders how effective green car marketing really is. Every time someone says hybrid, she doesn’t think of the clean tech, she thinks of that weird mouse that had a human ear attached to its back in the name of science. She thinks about that mouse a lot. Like,

Greenbang has always wondered about the term memorandum of understanding. How understanding do you have to be? If your co-signer turns up half-cut at 3 am in the morning wanting a party and you’ve got to get up early the next day, do you have to be understanding then?

Greenbang is now officially scared by the US Department of Energy’s neverending stream grants for whichever renewable energy trend passes under their wonks’ noses. Are DoE grants like microbes? You leave one in a room an then when you comeback in an hour they’ve multiplied to eye-watering numbers?

Much like Russell Brand, it looks like the Department of Energy isn’t afraid of sharing the love. (Greenbang’s already noted its grant-dispersing frenzy here) It seems that there’s little the DoE isn’t prepared to fund in terms of renewable energy: hydro, solar, biofuels – a strategy that

Someone, somewhere at the US Department of Energy has got a little bit mixed up. They’re confusing renewable energy grants with Panini stickers and trying to go for a whole set. In its pantheon of grants, the DoE can list biomass with $7 million, it’s got solar with

Truly, the US Department of Energy must have captured a dirty great Leprechaun farm and then successfully managed to GPS its way to the end of the rainbow. How else can you explain the never-ending cash it pulls out of its back pocket to fund whatever renewable energy trend happens

How smart are smart grids? Could they do the super hard Sudoku in the Sunday papers? Do they have doctorates in astrophysics? Can they get into a packet of digestives without using their teeth? Greenbang doesn’t know. She’s never had one around for tea. But what she does
biofuels
‘Biofuels made from feedstock’ have become dirty words quicker than British Airways Terminal 5. Strangely enough, however, pyrolysis has not. Which is funny, when you consider it the word pyrolysis sounds like an STD that might involve weeping sores. Despite Greenbang’s fevered imagination, pyrolysis is no STD. What it
