REGISTER TODAY: AMO’s Workshop on Clean Water Processing Technology R&D – July 10-11
We invite you to participate in the Workshop on Clean Water Processing Technology Research and Development to be held on July 10-11, 2017, at the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre, in Dallas, TX. The Advanced Manufacturing Office at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is hosting this workshop to gain insights on the early-stage research and development needs in this critical area.
The workshop will be held over two days, with the second day tentatively planned to end at noon. A block of rooms is reserved at the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre for those traveling to the meeting location. The room block will close June 25. Please register at www.yesevents.com/cleanwaterworkshop.
Energy Department Announces $3 Million for High Performance Computing to Advance Clean Energy Manufacturing
The Energy Department announced up to $3 million in available support for manufacturers to use supercomputers at the department's national laboratories to tackle major manufacturing challenges. The High Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) Program enables the use of high performance computing (HPC) expertise and resources for the manufacturing sector to address research and development challenges with HPC and investigate its use to support advanced energy and manufacturing issues.
Register to attend a webinar to learn more about the HPC4Mfg 2017 Spring solicitation on Monday, June 28, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. PT (noon EST).
View the solicitation and submission instructions here. Concept papers are due by July 26, 2017.
Energy Secretary Announces New Director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Secretary of Energy Rick Perry announced the appointment of Dr. Thomas Zacharia as the new director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He was unanimously selected by the UT-Battelle Board of Governors to succeed Dr. Thom Mason as ORNL’s Director.
Dr. Zacharia has been successful in extending ORNL’s reach as one of the world’s leading research institutions, and in broadening partnerships with the academic community across multiple disciplines. He holds two U.S. patents and is author or co-author of more than 100 publications on high-performance computing for manufacturing processes.
More information on Dr. Zacharia can be found here.
Eck Industries Signs Exclusive License for Ce-Al Alloy Co-developed by ORNL, LLNL, and Ames through AMO’s Critical Materials Institute
Wisconsin’s Eck Industries signed an exclusive license for the commercialization of a cerium-aluminum (Ce-Al) alloy co-developed by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Ames Laboratory that is ideal for creating lightweight, strong components for advanced vehicles and airplanes. The patent-pending alloy was developed as part of DOE’s Critical Materials Institute (CMI), a Department of Energy Innovation Hub led by DOE’s Ames Laboratory and supported by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office, and makes use of cerium, the most abundant rare earth element.
Learn more about this breakthrough development, and CMI’s role in this scientific discovery.
BLOG: AMO Talks Partnerships, Tools, and Achievements at 2017 Better Buildings Summit
From May 15-17, the Advanced Manufacturing Office’s (AMO) Better Plants program co-hosted the 2017 Better Buildings Summit. This Summit is designed for partners and stakeholders to exchange best practices and highlight demonstrated market solutions with an equal emphasis on discussing future opportunities for greater energy efficiency in America’s homes, buildings, and manufacturing plants
As part of the 3-day summit, AMO’s Better Plants hosted a variety of events to facilitate knowledge exchange and provide support to Better Plants partners. Learn more about AMO’s Better Plants’ participation in the Better Building Summit here.
