Wahi a nā hōʻike hoʻolaha haole, ua hoʻolālā ka US Department of Energy (DOE) e hāʻawi i nā mea hoʻomohala me $30 miliona i loko o nā mea hoʻoikaika a me ke kālā no ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu, no ka mea, manaʻolana ʻo ia e hōʻemi nui i ke kumukūʻai o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu.
ʻO ke kālā, e lawelawe ʻia ana e ke Keʻena ʻOihana Uila (OE) o DOE, e māhele ʻia i ʻelua kālā like o $15 miliona kēlā me kēia.E kākoʻo kekahi o nā kālā i ka noiʻi no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hilinaʻi o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu lōʻihi (LDES), hiki ke hāʻawi i ka ikehu no ka liʻiliʻi o 10 mau hola.E hāʻawi kālā ʻē aʻe kekahi kālā no ka US Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (OE) Rapid Operational Demonstration Program, ka mea i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻolako kālā wikiwiki ʻana i nā hoʻoili ʻana i ka ikehu hou.
I Malaki o kēia makahiki, ua hoʻohiki ka papahana e hāʻawi kālā i $2 miliona i ʻeono mau keʻena hana ʻāina ʻo US Department of Energy e kōkua i kēia mau keʻena noiʻi e hana i ka noiʻi, a ʻo ke kālā hou he $15 miliona hiki ke kōkua i ka wikiwiki o ka noiʻi ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu.
ʻO ka hapa ʻē aʻe o ke kālā DOE e kākoʻo i kekahi mau ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu i ka wā mua o ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana, a ʻaʻole i mākaukau no ka hoʻokō ʻoihana.
E hoʻolōʻihi i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gene Rodrigues, Kakauolelo Kokua no ka Uila ma ka US Department of Energy: "ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau kālā e hoʻolalelale i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu i ka wā e hiki mai ana a hāʻawi i nā hopena kūpono no ka hālāwai ʻana i nā pono uila o nā mea kūʻai aku.ʻO kēia ka hopena o ka hana ikaika a ka ʻoihana mālama ikehu., aia ka ʻoihana i mua o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu lōʻihi.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hoʻolaha ka US Department of Energy i nā mea hoʻomohala a i ʻole nā hana mālama mālama ikehu e loaʻa ke kālā, e hana nā hana i nā pahuhopu 2030 i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), e komo pū ana kekahi Target.
Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo ESGC i Dekemaba 2020. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka luʻi ʻo ia ka hoʻemi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai pae o ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu no nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu lōʻihi e 90% ma waena o 2020 a me 2030, e hoʻemi ana i kā lākou kumukūʻai uila i $0.05/kWh.ʻO kāna pahuhopu ka hoʻemi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai hana o kahi pā uila EV 300-kilomita e 44% i ka manawa, e hoʻemi ana i kāna kumukūʻai i $80/kWh.
Ua hoʻohana ʻia ke kālā mai ka ESGC e kākoʻo i kekahi mau papahana mālama ikehu, me ka "Grid Energy Storage Launchpad" i kūkulu ʻia e ka Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) me $75 miliona ma ke kālā kālā.ʻO ka pōʻai hou loa o ke kālā e hele i nā papahana noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala like.
Ua hāʻawi pū ʻo ESGC i $17.9 miliona i nā hui ʻehā, ʻo Largo Clean Energy, TreadStone Technologies, OTORO Energy a me Quino Energy, e hoʻomohala i nā hana noiʻi a me nā hana hana no ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu.
ʻO ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana mālama ikehu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa
Ua hoʻolaha ka DOE i kēia mau manawa kālā hou ma ka ESGC Summit ma Atlanta.Ua ʻike pū ka DOE e lilo ka Pacific Northwest National Laboratory a me Argonne National Laboratory ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoponopono papahana ESGC no nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana.Na ke Office of Electricity (OE) o DOE a me ke Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy o DOE e hāʻawi kālā he $300,000 no ka uhi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai o ka papahana ESGC a hiki i ka hopena o ka makahiki kālā 2024.
Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ke kālā hou e nā ʻāpana o ka ʻoihana waiwai honua, me Andrew Green, ka luna hoʻokele o ka International Zinc Association (IZA), e ʻōlelo ana ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka nūhou.
"Ua hauʻoli ka International Zinc Association i ka ʻike ʻana i ka US Department of Energy e hoʻolaha ana i nā hoʻopukapuka hou nui i ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Green, me ka ʻike ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o ka makemake i ka zinc ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o nā ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻOliʻoli mākou i nā manawa kūpono e lawe mai ai nā pākiki zinc i ka ʻoihana.Ke kakali nei mākou i ka hana pū ʻana e hoʻoponopono i kēia mau hana hou ma o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pākaukau zinc.
Ke hahai nei ka nūhou i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia o nā ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau i kau ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā makahiki i hala.Wahi a ka ʻikepili i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka US Energy Information Administration, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o ka nui o ka nui o nā ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa uila uila ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa mai 149.6MW i 2012 a i 8.8GW i 2022. Ke piʻi nui nei ka wikiwiki o ka ulu ʻana. me 4.9GW o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu i hoʻoili ʻia ma 2022 aneane pālua ʻia mai ka makahiki i hala.
He mea koʻikoʻi paha ke kālā o ke aupuni US no ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna mau pahuhopu hoʻolalelale mālama ʻana i ka ikehu, ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka mana o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu ma United States a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻenehana mālama mālama ikehu lōʻihi.I ka mahina o Nowemapa i hala, ua hoʻolaha kūikawā ka US Department of Energy i $ 350 miliona ma ke kālā no nā papahana mālama mālama ikehu lōʻihi, me ka manaʻo e paipai i ka hana hou ma kēia kahua.
