The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Science, Technology and Policy Program is designed to provide opportunities for postgraduates and faculty to participate in programs, projects, and activities at the Department. Fellows will receive hands-on experience that provides an understanding of the mission, operations, and culture of the DOE. As a result, fellows will gain deep insight into the federal government's role in the creation and implementation of energy technology policies; apply their scientific, policy, and technical knowledge to the development of solutions to issues of importance to the DOE and continue their education and involvement in areas that support the DOE mission either in a technical or policy-related role.
The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) is seeking motivated students, postgraduates, and faculty to participate in projects at the forefront of the clean energy transition, helping to address the climate crisis through a 12-month fellowship with FECM. FECM plays an important role in providing solutions that address the climate crisis. This includes working to minimize the climate and environmental impacts of fossil energy and key industrial processes to help achieve net-zero emissions across the United States economy. The office works to achieve that mission in ways that benefit communities, provide high-wage jobs, and support domestic energy, industry, and manufacturing. The overall focus is to ensure the nation’s energy security, build sustainable supply chains, and significantly accelerate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions—all at the same time.
The Office of Carbon Management's research priorities include point source carbon capture, carbon dioxide (CO2) removal, carbon dioxide conversion into products, carbon transport and storage; hydrogen production and use coupled with carbon management; and policy, analysis, and engagement activities. These priorities are critical to reducing CO2 emissions from the power and industrial sectors, as well as hard to decarbonize industrial sectors and legacy emissions in the atmosphere. As a global leader in the research, development, and demonstration of carbon management technologies, FECM is also working on developing and deploying low-carbon supply chains like cement and concrete, steel, paper, fuel, chemicals, and other important products.
The Office of Resource Sustainability's research priorities include reducing emissions from natural gas supply, delivery, and storage infrastructure, reducing the surface and subsurface risks and impacts from oil and natural gas development, and developing technologies and practices that allow for the use of our nation's natural gas resources while meeting climate goals. The Office of Resource Sustainability is also developing technologies to transition to a hydrogen economy by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the proven technologies for hydrogen production from natural gas, transportation, and storage and working to identify and remediate super-emitters, including sources of flaring and abandoned wells. The office develops technologies and deploys regional initiatives to monitor and reduce methane emissions from fossil fuel infrastructure including coal, oil, and gas. Additional areas of focus for the office include: working to advance Critical Minerals, Rare Earth Elements (REE), and Mine Remediation by Improving REE separation/recovery technologies to manufacture products from CO2 and carbon ores and to address current market and process economics, and advancing R&D to address abandoned mines.
The Office of Operations drives the development of FECM Strategic Vision, functional alignment in support of mission priorities, cross-cutting engagement strategies, and the leveraging of artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate technological advancement and improve the efficiency of business processes. Research priorities in Operations are focused on articulating FECM’s regional support for the development of clean energy and industrial economies, applying the latest developments in AI to advance FECM R&D initiatives, streamlining internal processes, and increasing the use of data analytics in support of decisions relating to information technology, cybersecurity, workforce management, financial management, and environment, security, safety and health functions.
