The Office of Clean Energy Demonstration (OCED) has awarded grants to innovative clean energy projects across the U.S. These projects are set to transform industries and reduce carbon footprints. The MILESHIGH Project, located in Arizona, led by Freeport Minerals Corporation, plans to utilize geothermal heat at copper mines to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Similarly, the Hybrid Electric Glass Furnace Project by Gallo Glass Company in California aims to cut natural gas usage and increase recycling in glass production. Vale USA's project focuses on producing low-emissions iron ore briquettes to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. Additionally, the Star e-Methanol project by Ørsted is set to produce e-methanol from captured CO2, reducing emissions in hard-to-electrify sectors. These projects demonstrate a positive shift towards clean energy and sustainability, highlighting the potential for significant environmental benefits and industry innovation.
