Utility Dive: Energy storage research is alive and well at the DOE despite President Donald Trump's threats to gut funding for DOE programs, particularly clean energy projects. In fact, after the budget dust settled, scientific research got a boost at the DOE with a 16% increase in the budget to $6.2 billion.
According to the new announcements, some of those funds are allocated to research on energy storage. The JCESR, led by Argonne National Laboratory, now has $120 million to continue its research on new materials that can improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and devise new concepts for flow batteries.
