BIRD Energy Program Funds $7.5 Million for Clean Energy Projects in Israel and the United States
Key Ideas
- BIRD Energy program invests $7.5 million in five clean energy projects between Israel and the United States, focusing on energy efficiency, hydrogen energy, recycling, and storage.
- Projects include developing hydrogen as a marine engine fuel, creating green ammonia technology, enhancing energy efficiency in buildings, and advancing chemical recycling technologies.
- Initiative aims to drive innovation and competitiveness in the global renewable energy sector through partnerships between Israeli and U.S. companies.
- Qualified projects must involve one U.S. and one Israeli company or one country's company paired with a university or research institution from the other, contributing to at least 50% of project costs.
The BIRD Energy program has recently allocated $7.5 million to fund five collaborative clean energy projects between Israel and the United States, with a total project value of $16 million. These projects aim to foster innovation in energy efficiency, hydrogen energy, recycling, and storage. The approved projects include initiatives to develop hydrogen as a dual fuel for marine engines, create advanced green ammonia technology, demonstrate improved energy efficiency in residential buildings, and advance chemical recycling technologies. The program aims to enhance the competitiveness of Israeli companies in the global market, driving progress in renewable energy research, development, and production. Projects funded by BIRD Energy must involve partnerships between Israeli and U.S. companies and focus on energy innovation of mutual interest. The initiative not only supports technological advancements but also contributes to creating efficient energy systems and reaching new markets. The collaborative effort between the two countries promotes a shared ecosystem that benefits both nations and the global clean energy economy.
