Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the Secretary of Energy Achievement Award to National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers Bryan Pivovar of NREL's Chemistry and Nanoscience Center and Mark Ruth of NREL's Strategic Energy Analysis Center.
Now in his 28th year at NREL, Ruth manages the laboratory's industrial systems and fuels analysis group. In addition, he oversees several energy analyses with a special interest in the interface between energy sectors. He has led studies on the financial potential of tightly coupled nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems and the potential for industrial combined heat and power systems to provide grid support. Ruth recently supported a high-impact study on novel concepts for multi-input, multi-output hybrid energy systems.
Pivovar and Ruth have been leaders of DOE's H2@Scale initiative, a high-priority collaboration under the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office in the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. H2@Scale explores the potential of widescale hydrogen production and utilization in the United States to support the electric grid and play a larger role across industry and transportation. Pivovar and Ruth have championed the concept as a feasible pathway for energy-system-wide benefits and continue to lead foundational research on the technical and economic potential of hydrogen.
