The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), signed into law on 17 February 2009, is a supplemental spending bill that contains over USD 80 billion to support clean energy research, development, and deployment. Of this amount, over USD 50 billion is provided in direct appropriations. This funding supports new and current government programmes. Examples include: -Approximately USD 1.6 billion in funding for research managed by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, of which USD 277 million is for Energy Frontier Research Centers that will pursue cost-effective alternative energy technologies; -USD 4.5 billion for a Smart Grid programme (authorised by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007); -USD 6 billion for the Innovative Technologies Loan Guarantee Program (initially authorized by Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act 2005 and funded with USD 2 billion) to accelerate the deployment of a range of commercial clean energy technologies; -Up to USD 6.5 billion in loans under management of the Bonneville Power Administration and Western Area Power Administration to accelerate the expansion of transmission lines that will facilitate renewable energy deployment; -USD 2.7 billion for the DOE Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program to issue grants to U.S. states, territories, local governments, and Indian tribes (this program was authorized without funding in Title V, Subtitle E of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007): -USD 3.1 billion for the DOE State Energy Program; -USD 5 billion is available to state energy offices to support weatherization of low-income homes; -USD 2.5 billion for discretionary clean energy RD&D managed by the DOE, including USD 800 million for next generation biofuels, USD 400 million for geothermal technologies, and support for several research projects such a recently awarded USD 45 million grant for a Large Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing facility at a University in South Carolina; -USD 400 million for state and local grant programs supporting advanced vehicles; -USD 2 billion in grants available to support advanced battery manufacturing for facilities located in the US; -USD 300 million in additional funding for DOEs Clean Cities Program; -USD 500 million for a grant programme supporting clean energy workforce training managed by the Department of Labor; -USD 100 million to support more workforce training that is managed by the DOE Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability; -Over USD 110 million for the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory for advancing wind energy technologies, building new energy efficient facilities, and upgrading to the lab's Integrated Biorefinery Research Facility; and -Well over USD 3 billion in grants from the Department of Treasury (described in complementary entry 4444) to support renewable energy project development. Much of this funding will be awarded through competitive solicitations. Independent merit review committees, composed of relevant technology and policy experts, will select projects for funding.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
