Clean energy has had a big year in 2014. The solar industry continues its record-breaking pace, new commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol bioenergy facilities have come online, and manufacturers have improved energy efficiency at facilities throughout the nation. These are just a few of the milestones and accomplishments that the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has played a role in.
Here on EERE Blog, we tell these and other stories related to the Energy Department’s efforts to develop and deliver market solutions for energy saving-homes, buildings, and manufacturing; sustainable transportation; and renewable electricity generation. This past year, we published more than 170 articles on technologies and projects that are advancing the clean energy economy. Below are the five most popular EERE Blog articles of 2014:
1. SuperTruck Making Leaps in Fuel Efficiency (February 19)
2. Making Algal Biofuel Production More Efficient, Less Expensive (January 10)
3. Advanced Offshore Wind Tech: Accelerating New Opportunities for Clean Energy (May 7)
4. Shared Solar Projects Powering Households Throughout America (January 31)
5. How a Small Business is Transforming the Cold Climate Heating Market (October 15)
