In celebration of Earth Day, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is highlighting some of the exciting and innovative work DOE and our national laboratories are doing to protect our planet. Researchers from DOE’s Waterborne Plastics Assessment and Collection Technologies (WaterPACT) project and Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™) consortium are on mission to do just that!
Maritime Ship
This week at Singapore Maritime Week, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is advancing ambitious decarbonization targets for the maritime transportation sector, both domestically and internationally. DOE is teaming with over 15 government and industry partners in Singapore to foster partnerships and collaborate on clean energy solutions aimed at achieving net zero-emissions in the maritime sector by 2050. Domestically, DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is joining with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to create opportunities for data and information sharing to strengthen U.S. shipping.
