U.S. DOE Energy Innovation Hubs Meeting

The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced its intention to fund 8 new “Energy Innovation Hubs” from FY 2010 appropriations. One of the Hub areas is solar fuels research. The Research Triangle Energy Consortium (RTEC), a research collaboration of Duke, North Carolina State University, Research Triangle Institute, and UNC-Chapel Hill, is sponsoring a proposal for the Solar Fuels Hub. A Solar Fuels Hub located in the Triangle would enhance the regional capacity to provide leadership for providing and using energy in the future. Annual DOE funding for a Hub is estimated at $25 million per year, with additional funding from partners, industry, and utilities.
