The Advanced Manufacturing Office Releases the “Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technical Potential in the United States” Study

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) has released the “Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technical Potential in the United States” market analysis report. This study provides data on the technical potential in industrial facilities and commercial buildings for “topping cycle” CHP, waste heat to power CHP (WHP CHP), and district energy CHP in the U.S. The report provides valuable data on the technical potential for CHP in strategic energy planning and energy efficiency program design. The study shows that within the U.S. there is estimated to be more than 240GW of technical potential at over 291,000 sites. Data is provided nationally by CHP system size range, facility type, and state.

Host Registration is Open for the Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Robotics Internship Program

DOE’s Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy (EERE) Robotics Internship Program is seeking corporate host sites for 10-week fully funded summer internships. The Advanced Manufacturing Office will fund approximately 45 students to intern at different corporations across America. Public and private organizations will be given the opportunity to experience the value of a streamlined internship program which AMO will seed its first year. The Robotics Internship Program is a unique collaboration between public and private sectors to continue development of the future technical, advanced manufacturing and engineering workforce. EERE-AMO has partnered with FIRST™, sponsor of the FIRST™ Robotics Competition, the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI), and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) to centralize resources and opportunities for potential students and corporations.
