The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

MAY 5, 2010

Gil Weigand of Oak Ridge National Laboratory outlined his vision of a critical solution to the energy, climate and ensuing national security threats facing the US: the Net-Zero Neighborhood (NZN). batteries); the creation of grid-enabled consumer-side energy generation appliances; and a robust set of standards and protocols.

The US Department of Energy is awarding $106 million in funding for 37 research projects selected in the second round by the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). This process will repurpose carbon dioxide for use as a liquid fuel that can be readily used as a high octane gasoline substitute. Earlier post.).
