“The MOU represents a collaborative approach to researching technology solutions that will help decarbonize the U.S.

Collaboration could extend to research infrastructure, university-industry partnerships, education and workforce development, and activities for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Topics for research collaboration could include bioenergy, building and water treatment technologies, hydrogen and fuel cells, and renewable energy technologies, as well as agriculture, critical minerals and materials, and manufacturing, as well as the social, behavioral and economic aspects of new technologies and energy-related policies. “We look forward to partnering with the Department of Energy to speed the translation of these advances for the benefit of the nation and a clean energy future.” “NSF’s clean-energy investments create broad new understanding and innovations with the potential to increase energy efficiency, enhance sustainability, mitigate climate change, or lead to other societal benefits,” said Susan Margulies, NSF assistant director for Engineering. research and innovation, and together they advance discoveries from the laboratory bench to commercial implementation. NSF and DOE EERE often have complementary roles in fostering U.S. The Memorandum of Understanding enables additional cooperation between the two agencies where mutually beneficial opportunities emerge. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy, through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), signed a Memorandum of Understanding on March 23, 2022, continuing their longstanding partnership for collaboration on scientific and engineering research to bolster national energy policy. Collaboration between NSF and DOE will speed the transfer of new knowledge for renewable energy.
