Research & Development
America’s world-class entrepreneurs, researchers and scientists are working to advance the development of alternative energy resources as part of an all-of-the-above portfolio and empower the United States to continue deploying clean energy technologies.
In tandem with the release of CRES Forum’s latest white paper, The Conservative Case for Next Generation Geothermal Energy, our team partnered with Project InnerSpace to host a daylong event with featured speakers including Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah), Reps. Randy Weber (R-Texas) and August Pfluger (R-Texas), as well as industry leaders. […]
CRES Forum recently hosted a briefing to educate Republican Congressional staff on the potential of hydrogen as a cornerstone of American energy innovation, as well as on the key role of federal incentives in deploying this versatile energy resource to enable American energy dominance. The event kicked off with welcoming remarks from CRES President […]
To celebrate the release of CRES Forum’s newest white paper, “Growing an Industry for Clean Hydrogen,” our team hosted a briefing and networking event, “Will Hydrogen Have its Moment?,” to convene industry leaders, congressional staff and key stakeholders to discuss the potential of hydrogen to reduce global emissions, as well as the challenges and opportunities […]
Introduction Hydrogen has been dubbed the “Swiss army knife” of clean energy, given its potential to become a tool to cut emissions in key sectors, as well as to assert U.S. global energy leadership and increase our nation’s competitive edge. Given its unique attributes, it has the potential to greatly reduce emissions in hard-to-decarbonize industrial […]
The United States’ energy security has changed dramatically since U.S. imports peaked in 2007. As the U.S. continues to decarbonize and work towards net zero, many questions must be answered: At what pace and scale will the U.S. need to deploy clean energy technologies to achieve net zero emissions?
CRES Forum Vice President of Policy and Research Richard Campbell penned the following piece for the Washington Times National Clean Energy Week Special Edition: Hydrogen has been discussed for decades as a possible fuel source to produce cleaner, American-made energy. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) designated approximately $8 billion for the development of […]
Industrial emissions have been steadily on the rise and could soon exceed emissions in the power sector as it continues its successful decarbonization efforts. As demand for industrial commodities grows in developing nations, it matters where these goods are produced. In the U.S., manufactured products are 40% more carbon efficient than the world average. Therefore, […]
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) capabilities need to be drastically expanded in order to meet the goal of keeping the global average temperature increase below 2°C. The IEA estimates that to achieve this target, the number of industrial scale carbon capture facilities needs to increase from the […]
Energy storage is considered the “holy grail” of energy because it allows for stockpiling unused power for when consumers need it the most. Currently, the U.S. electricity grid only has enough cumulative storage capacity to provide power for around 20 minutes – or a mere 10 seconds if only battery storage is considered. The development […]
Sustainable energy comes in many forms. In fact, sometimes energy can be found in a place you would least expect: trash! By burning municipal solid waste (MSW), waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities turn our garbage into energy, which is then harnessed to create electricity. The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) and its Applied Research Foundation […]
