Among other capabilities, hydrogen is a transportable form of energy storage, which means that it can bring renewable energy to areas that have roads, railways, pipelines or waterways but lack transmission infrastructure. That’s a real nightmare for fossil gas, which is the primary source of hydrogen today. October 6, 2020: The DOE launches a green hydrogen collaboration with the Netherlands, the idea being to split hydrogen from water with renewable energy. Texas’s wind-friendly ERCOT system is also a partner in the endeavor. That’s especially bad news for US coal, oil, and gas exporters. October 20, 2020: The DOE joins in the creation of the multinational Global Power System Transformation Consortium, which aims at accelerating renewable energy integration alongside EV adoption and other clean tech around the world, with a particular focus on developing markets. The new initiative will provide grid stakeholders across the nation with a first-of-its-kind, plug-and-play model for assessing renewable energy integration along with other distributed energy resources including electric vehicle batteries and building systems. November 2, 2020: The DOE can take credit for an Obama-era R&D effort that launches the new DERConnect test bed at the University of California – San Diego.

The DOE has a suite of programs under way to unlock more pumped storage potential, which is good news for wind and solar fans but bad news for fossil fuels. Pumped storage is by far the leading platform for bulk, long duration energy storage in the US. November 3, 2020: The DOE chairs a virtual summit - yes, right on Election Day - convened by the International Hydropower Association, under the banner of the new International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower. In fact, some of the most consequential developments attributable to the DOE occurred in the weeks leading up to Election Day, and they will continue to ripple out for months if not years into the Biden administration. Paris Agreement or not, for the most part the DOE carried on its clean energy mission right on through from Trump’s poorly attended inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2017, all the way up to Election Day on November 3, 2020.

Trump did slow down the nation’s decarbonization timeline and block more than a few important US Department of Energy reports, but apparently the DOE did not get the full memo. 100 Days Of Renewable Energy, Deep State Edition President-Elect Joe Biden has a head start on the renewable energy race, thanks in part to ongoing work by the US Department of Energy (photo by Dennis Schroeder, National Renewable Energy Laboratory).
