The US Department of Energy has announced the distribution of $473.6 million in Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants to enhance the electric grid's resilience against extreme weather events. This funding, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to modernize the grid and ensure reliable, clean electricity across 49 states, 5 territories, and 254 Tribal Nations. Since FY 2022, a total of $1.3 billion has been allocated, with plans to distribute $2.3 billion over five years to support diverse projects that benefit communities.
World leaders' 2015 Paris Agreement aimed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, necessitating immediate GHG emission reductions. While carbon removal technologies are being explored, their scalability and environmental impacts remain uncertain, emphasizing the need for urgent emissions cuts and investment in nature-based solutions. Balancing technological advancements with ecosystem preservation is crucial for achieving climate goals.
Nissan plans to introduce bi-directional charging systems for its electric vehicles in the UK and Europe starting in 2026, enhancing their role as mobile energy storage units. Meanwhile, the US Army explores electric vehicle microgrids for improved efficiency, and Highland Electric Fleets launches a $10.9 million program to assess the value of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology through pilot projects with 12 utilities, aiming to optimize grid integration and reduce energy costs.
