Supporting the Path to Decarbonization at the U.S. Department of Energy
BCS’s work with several DOE offices supports the Administration’s priority of achieving net-zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050. We support the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) with their priorities of furthering carbon capture and storage and methane mitigation, to include the development of their strategic vision. At the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), our work supports its clean energy technology portfolio such as developing a strategic plan with a vision for 2040 for the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) in a multistage, iterative endeavor that incorporated stakeholder input from industry, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and other federal agencies. For the Office of Management Sustainability Performance Division, BCS helped develop and implement the DOE Climate Action plan, assisting all 50 DOE sites create site sustainability plans and collect data and tracking implementation progress.
Increasing Energy Security and Resilience within the U.S. Department of Defense
In support of the Army Office of Energy Initiatives (OEI) and the Air Force Office of Energy Assurance (OEA) BCS is helping to increase energy security and resilience at military installations. For example, BCS provides OEI with subject matter expertise in alternative and renewable energy systems, concept and detailed design analysis, and implementation of energy development strategies. Through clean energy project evaluation, coordination, and management, BCS’s work with OEI has helped bring 325 MW of total new onsite generation capacity online.
