ASME Policy Impact Highlights U.S. Clean Energy Deployment and Decarbonization Priorities
ASME’s recent Policy Impact 2022 conference included a panel on “U.S. Clean Energy Deployment and Decarbonization Priorities” with leaders from across the Department of Energy’s research and technology development offices. The session included remarks from panelists Dr. Kathryn Huff, Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy; Dr. Brian Anderson, Director, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL); and Dr. Sunita Satyapal, Director, Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office.
The panel opened with Dr. Kathryn Huff, who outlined the Office of Nuclear Energy’s efforts to assist and maintain the current U.S. nuclear power generation fleet as well as efforts to build the future of nuclear energy in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Brian Anderson of NETL then spoke about his work in the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to make the United States economy run on 100% clean energy production by 2035. Furthermore, NETL aims to drive the pathway for a net zero carbon economy by 2050 through the management of carbon through its whole life cycle. Dr. Sunita Satyapal concluded the panel by highlighting the recent investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which included over $8.0 billion to support the DOE’s Hydrogen Energy Earthshot goals.
