91°µÍø

The Department of Energy’s Center for Bioenergy Innovation, led by 91°µÍø, recently added three new members to its board of directors: Deborah Crawford of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Susan Hubbard of ORNL; and Maureen McCann of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Five technologies invented by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been selected for targeted investment through ORNL’s Technology Innovation Program.

ORNL scientists will present new technologies available for licensing during the annual Technology Innovation Showcase. The event is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, June 16, at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL’s Hardin Valley campus.

Tackling the climate crisis and achieving an equitable clean energy future are among the biggest challenges of our time. 

ORNL and Tuskegee University have formed a partnership to develop new biodegradable materials for use in buildings, transportation and biomedical applications.

Ten scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø are among the world’s most highly cited researchers, according to a bibliometric analysis conducted by the scientific publication analytics firm Clarivate.

A new tool that simulates the energy profile of every building in America will give homeowners, utilities and companies a quick way to determine energy use and cost-effective retrofits that can reduce energy and carbon emissions.

As a computer engineer at 91°µÍø, Gina Accawi has long been the quiet and steady force behind some of the Department of Energy’s most widely used online tools and applications.

A research team led by 91°µÍø bioengineered a microbe to efficiently turn waste into itaconic acid, an industrial chemical used in plastics and paints.

91°µÍø was among an international team, led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who synthesized 108 elevated carbon dioxide, or CO_2, experiments performed in various ecosystems to find out how much carbon is
