Fact sheet on the Carbon Ore, Rare Earth and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative, an Energy & Environmental Research Center and U.S. Department of Energy project. Includes information on the importance of critical minerals and utilizing lignite from the Williston Basin.
Fact sheet explaining the process of drilling a test hole to collect data for the North Dakota CarbonSAFE project. North Dakota CarbonSAFE is an Energy & Environmental Research Center project, conducted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy.
Fact sheet on North Dakota CarbonSAFE project. An Environmental & Energy Research Center-led project, under the U.S. Department of Energy’s CarbonSAFE Initiative, it seeks to safely deploy safe and permanent CO 2 storage in North Dakota.
Fact sheet on the 45Q tax credit. 45Q was created in 2008 as a tax credit to incentivize the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects.
Fact sheet about carbon storage monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA). Includes background on MVA, the Energy & Environmental Research Center, and Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Initiative plans for MVA strategy development.
Fact sheet on the 45Q tax credit. 45Q was created in 2008 as a tax credit to incentivize the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects.
Fact sheet on Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Initiative and the importance of CO 2 storage.
This fact sheet describes the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure - Rental Car (EVI-Rental) tool, a flexible and comprehensive simulation tool that addresses key questions about the charging demand, infrastructure needs, and business impacts of adding growing numbers of electric vehicles (EVs) to rental fleets. To validate the EVI-Rental model, the Athena research team conducted a case study at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to understand the impact of state-of-charge requirements, different charger types and charging schedules, solar power generation, and behind-the-meter storage on a fully electrified rental car fleet.
Fact sheet on Tribal Sovereignty.
One of 6 fact sheets for the State/Tribal Collaboration project. This is on the topic of Tribal Right to Create Laws.
This is 1 of 6 fact sheets for the State/Tribal Collaboration project. This one is on types of Tribal Lands.
A fact sheet for MODAQ 2 which is the newest version of the Modular Ocean Acquisition System (MODAQ).
This fact sheet describes the opportunity to use carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 EOR) in the Dickinson Lodgepole Mounds of Stark County, North Dakota. It highlights how geology and established practices can increase oil production while securely storing CO 2 and supporting local communities.
A fact sheet to support small business building contractors in communicating with homeowners about potential benefits of home efficiency strategies and suggestions for navigating home upgrades. This work was developed under the Building Business Network (B-Biz) program, which aims to improve adoption of high-performance building technology solutions by collaborating with organizations that support small business contractors that provide and service high-performance building technologies.
Un Nuevo Amanecer Inc. (UNA), a community-based nonprofit organization, partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Technology Innovation Partnership Project (ETIPP) to develop a Strategic Energy Plan (SEP) for the community of Playa de Ponce on the southern coast of Puerto Rico. The SEP provides a community-driven roadmap to improve local energy systems by identifying shared priorities, strategies, and actions that support a more reliable, affordable, and resilient energy future. Over a seven-month period, researchers from the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) worked with UNA, the Puerto Rico Hispanic Federation, community leaders, and residents to gather input through engagement workshops held in March and June 2025. These discussions helped define the community's energy vision and identify key challenges, including high electricity costs, unreliable service during extreme weather events, and risks to public health and safety - particularly for the community's aging population. This fact sheet summarizes the key elements of the Strategic Energy Plan, including four priority strategies organized around three focus areas identified by the community: energy reliability, safety and security, and stakeholder participation, education, and capacity building. Together, these strategies outline actionable pathways to strengthen Playa de Ponce's energy resilience and support long-term community goals. The plan serves as a shared reference for community members, local organizations, and government partners working to advance energy solutions in Playa de Ponce and complements broader municipal and island-wide planning efforts.
The electric utility is a crucial partner for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure projects. Tribes should engage with the utility early and often for successful charging projects. This fact sheet outlines key information a Tribe needs for engagement.
This fact sheet provides an overview of operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, responsibilities, and contracts to help ensure EV charging infrastructure remains functional and reliable in Indian Country. O&M planning is important for Tribes to consider at the beginning of EV charging infrastructure projects to help ensure charger uptime and longevity.
Increasing knowledge about electric vehicles (EVs) can increase Tribal member comfort level with the technology, leading to increased EV adoption. This fact sheet lists common EV and charging infrastructure concerns and provides information to help address these hurdles during engagement with Tribal communities.
