Using supercomputers to help companies advance clean energy technologies

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is allocating funding through its High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation program to facilitate collaborations between DOE's high-performance computing (HPC) resources and private industries. Argonne National Laboratory is involved in four projects. The collaborations leverage Argonne's supercomputing capabilities and expertise to enhance manufacturing efficiency and explore materials for clean energy applications. For instance, the partnership with Ford focuses on improving battery manufacturing efficiency using HPC to accelerate the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in lithium batteries. Capstone Green Energy aims to redesign its C200 microturbine to run on hydrogen fuel, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Lakril Technologies collaborates on developing sustainable biomass feedstocks for paints and coatings. Power Systems Manufacturing addresses hydrogen-related combustion issues in gas turbines to reduce carbon emissions.
