The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released reports on pathways to commercial using hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, nuclear and carbon management technologies. The reports are intended to facilitate public-private partnerships and help investors, government and industry with decision-making around investing and deploying climate technologies. The DOE has created adoption readiness levels, a scoring system that considers low, medium and high risk dimensions for a total score of 1-9 to rate individual technologies. The reports are a call to action for DOE offices to engage with industry, investors and other stakeholders to discuss the challenges and potential solutions to commercial adoption of these emerging technologies. To facilitate widespread adoption, these documents offer common metrics for market development, and lay out clear timelines for the milestones that need to be achieved in order to reach scale. DOE officials also encourage industry collaboration to increase workforce training, tax abatements or loans for manufacturing facilities, and planning of midstream infrastructure for clean hydrogen transportation expansion, and improving markets for the value of Long Duration Energy Storage technology.
