Department of Energy Awards $5.2 Million to Advance High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a $5.2 million federal investment for 13 projects that will tap into the DOE National Laboratories’ world-class high performance computing (HPC) resources to help industry partners improve material performance, advance manufacturing processes, and reduce industrial emissions. These short-term, collaborative projects will address key manufacturing and materials challenges to move us closer to the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

As a part of DOE’s High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) initiative, the selected projects will apply advanced modeling, simulation, and data analysis to projects that improve manufacturing efficiency and explore new materials for clean energy applications. This round of selections focuses on topic areas associated with HPC4EI’s HPC4Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) and HPC4Materials (HPC4Mtls) programs, which are supported by DOE’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO), and Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM).

HPC4Mfg is funded by the EERE’s AMMTO and IEDO. HPC4Mtls is funded by FECM. Both are subprograms of the High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) initiative. HPC4EI is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Visit the HPC4EI website for additional information.
