Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21) was a voluntary partnership program dedicated to improving the environmental performance of U.S. laboratories. Sponsored by EPA and the DOE, EPA funding ended in 2012, and the remaining program activities are now managed by the International Insitute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL), including the annual I2SL conference (formerly the Labs21 conference). Program resources are provided on the website of I2SL and linked to on the DOE program page. EO 13423 requires Federal agencies to reduce energy intensity by 3% annually through the end of FY15, or 30% by the end of FY15, relative to a FY03 baseline. This requirement includes laboratories and industrial facilities. Sponsored by EPA and the DOE, Labs21 aims to improve laboratory energy and water efficiency, encourage the use of renewable energy sources, and promote environmental stewardship amongst the laboratory community. The program aims to help new and retrofitted laboratories cut energy costs and reduce environmental damage by creating energy self-sufficiency for all EPA labs and modeling these savings for other science labs throughout the country.

AI Demand, War, and Climate Pressure Push World Back To Nuclear

Global energy markets are in turmoil as energy crises keep piling up. The energy-hungry AI boom, war in Iran, geopolitical instability, and climate pressures are creating a polycrisis for the global energy sector, and it’s just getting started. To solve multiple overlapping crises, we will need multiple overlapping solutions. An all-of-the-above solution to increasing energy security is therefore gaining favor on a global scale as the precariousness of over-reliance on limited energy supply chains becomes dangerously clear. While fossil fuels…

China's Battery Giant Bets Big on Sodium as Lithium Volatility Persists

The world’s largest battery maker is taking a step back from the eclectic vehicles sector to refocus its efforts on energy storage. China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (better known as CATL) has been building up its energy storage portfolio for years now, but the company’s transition away from EVs and toward energy systems has been supercharged by the artificial intelligence boom. Five years ago, just 2 percent of CATL’S sales came from battery storage. Today, storage accounts for a full quarter of the megacompany’s…
