Colorado State receives $326M from DOE/EPA to improve oil and gas operations and reduce methane emissions
Colorado State UniversityGrant and Award Announcement
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency have awarded $326 million to three Colorado State University research projects that aim to improve U.S. oil and gas operations and reduce methane emissions nationwide.
The EPA’s Methane Emissions Reduction Program is providing the funding to the CSU Energy Institute and faculty working across multiple departments in the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, with the goal of helping oil and gas operators improve operational efficiency and manage emissions. The efforts will also support activity to build an inventory of methane emissions, improve air quality and offer workforce development.

UCF to lead $5M consortium to train nuclear engineers
University of Central FloridaGrant and Award Announcement
UCF has continuously been recognized as a top supplier of graduates to the aerospace and defense industries, and two UCF professors plan to solidify that reputation through a new national consortium.
Professors Subith Vasu and Jayanta Kapat are leading a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to establish a consortium that will support students from underrepresented communities who are interested in earning engineering degrees.
The PARtnership and Training for NNSA Engineering and Relevant Sciences (PARTNERS) consortium will include the University of California, Irvine and the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). Sandia National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory will collaborate and support students and faculty.
The goal of PARTNERS is to provide a training ground and talent pipeline for the next generation of nuclear engineers.
