Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies

Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. We used a spatially explicit model to explore cost-minimized allocation of willow biomass from abandoned mine lands (AML) to be used for BECCS or SAF production and to abate carbon dioxide. The results suggest that between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of biomass can be produced on AML in PA at costs from $94 to $250 per dry Mg. This AML willow biomass could be combined with other available biomass and aggregated to ten facilities to produce 17.9 TWh of power; alternatively, it could produce 958 million liters of jet fuel, 638 million liters of renewable diesel, and 1.289 billion liters of naphtha, along with 0.735 TWh of electricity. From this analysis, in PA, under the BECCS pathway, up to 36 million Mg per year of CO2 could be abated at costs of up to $134 per Mg; under the SAF pathway, up to 17.5 million Mg per year of CO2 could be abated at costs up to $150 per Mg of CO2. The use of mine land willow as a supplemental feedstock for SAF and BECCS would need strong incentive programs if costs of production are to be comparable with production on agricultural land.

Molecular Programming of Diorganyl Dichalcogenides for Rational Nanocrystal Design

Soft-chemistry nanocrystal synthesis leverages low-temperature, solution-phase reactions to access materials that can be kinetically stabilized rather than thermodynamically favored. Under such mild conditions, reaction pathways are governed not only by precursor composition but also by the molecular details that dictate how reactive atomic species are generated and delivered. Furthermore, harnessing this kinetic sensitivity offers a powerful opportunity: by deliberately programming precursor reactivity, nanocrystal composition, structure, and morphology can be rationally designed rather than empirically discovered.

Programming entropy production hotspots via interaction patterning

Dissipation in soft matter and living systems is highly heterogeneous, giving rise to complex local entropy production patterns. Recent work has identified the connection between local entropy production and locally extractable amount of work. This suggests that locally produced entropy can be recovered to power nanorobots and biological machines, prompting the need for efficient strategies to modulate and fine-tune local entropy production. In this work, we propose to program entropy production hotspots by leveraging local interaction patterns and test this approach in simulations of a fluid driven through a nanopore or past an obstacle. Here, the results show that patterning the surface of the pore with a repulsive patch gives rise to an entropy production hotspot around the patch, while an attractive patch leads to an entropy production cold spot. Varying the strength of the interaction and width of the patch enables modulating the hotness and extent of the hot spot. In flows past interaction patterned-obstacles, we show that the combined effects of steric hindrance and attraction allows to program a specific entropy production map, thereby opening the door to the precise powering of nanomachines.

Transport-based initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions at finite densities

Here, we employ the SMASH transport model to provide event-by-event initial conditions for the energy-momentum tensor and conserved charge currents in hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We study the fluctuations and dynamical evolution of three conserved charge currents (net baryon, net electric charges, and net strangeness) with a four-dimensional lattice-QCD-based equation of state, NEOS-4D, in the hydrodynamic phase. Out-of-equilibrium corrections at the particlization are generalized to finite densities to ensure the conservation of energy, momentum, and the three types of charges. These theoretical developments are integrated within the X-SCAPE code as a unified framework for studying the nuclear matter properties in the Beam Energy Scan program.

ROADRUNNER MiniFuel Experiment: Irradiation Target Design and Sample Characterization

High-density uranium nitride (UN) is a fuel candidate for several advanced nuclear reactor designs currently under development. Because there are limited UN performance data relative to fuel fabrication impurity and density variation, an irradiation campaign has been developed as part of a collaborative effort among the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Westinghouse Electric Company, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under the Nuclear Science User Facilities program. This project, entitled ROADRUNNER, or Research On ADvancing the peRformance of UraNium Nitrides in Extreme enviRonments, aimsto support UN fuel qualification for advanced reactors by investigating the impact of density and impurity variations on UN performance as a function of irradiation temperature and burnup. The MiniFuel experiment vehicle developed by ORNL, which leverages the High Flux Isotope Reactor, was selected to perform this accelerated separate-effects irradiation testing. The experiment test matrix consists of six MiniFuel targets containing miniature UN fuel disks, and targets three distinct burnup levels (37.5, 60, and 75 MWd/kg U) and three distinct temperatures (600, 900, and 1200°C). Neutronics and thermal analyses were performed to determine the experimental parameters needed to meet the desired irradiation conditions and to predict the experiment components temperatures. UN pellets were fabricated at LANL with tightly controlled parameters to produce specimens with three distinct densities and three levels of carbon content. The pellets were then thinned down by UTSA to the experiment-required thickness. The pre-characterization of the specimens includes density measurements, carbon and oxygen contents, microstructure analysis, and x-ray computed tomography. The selected specimens will be assembled into the MiniFuel experiment, and the first ROADRUNNER MiniFuel targets are intended for HFIR insertion during the Fall of 2024. After irradiation, the targets will be shipped to ORNL’s hot cell facility for disassembly. The post-irradiation examination on the fuel specimens includes fission gas release measurements, visual inspection, fuel swelling measurements, gamma spectroscopy, and microstructure analysis. The data collected post-irradiation will be used to develop fuel performance models.

TuFF internal WRAP for Rapid Pipeline Repair (TuFF iWRAP)

The goal of “TuFF internal WRAP for Rapid Pipeline Repair” (TuFF iWRAP) program was to develop a novel material system and placement process to fabricate structural pipe within the existing deteriorated pipelines without disruption of gas delivery. The team (University of Delaware – Center for Composite Materials (UD-CCM) and Plitzie Inc.) addressed this challenge by developing a new material feedstock and pipe in pipe (PIP) repair strategy. This allows the potential for significant cost reduction and has minimum operational impact on gas customers. The new robotic based placement design allows discontinuous placement of pipe sections creating a stand-alone structural liner within the legacy pipeline without the need for pipe shutdown. Here, the material is supplied using a tethered material feeding system and is placed and UV cured with the internal Wound Rapid Automated Placement (iWRAP) system. This provides maximum placement efficiency capable of traversing 90 angle bends in 12-inch pipe and overall design customization to meet pipe repair requirements (e.g., variable wall thickness, bridging gaps, etc.). UV-curable fiber reinforced composite material has been optimized to meet structural performance and placement/cure times. Superior strength and fatigue life has been demonstrated by improving fiber-matrix adhesion using new fiber sizing for UV resins. Rapid cure approaches using new liner and resins have been evaluated with industry. The appropriate design of the section joints has been developed and tested. We estimate coating time to be ~100 hours per mile enabling typical pipe repair within 1 week.

Inaugural Symposium of the Institute for Sustainable Energy and Environment, Virginia Commonwealth University

The Inaugural Symposium of the Institute for Sustainable Energy and Environment (ISEE) was held in Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia during April 26 – 28, 2023. The symposium addressed issues and challenges in energy and environment and highlighted the use of clean renewable energy to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels and the greenhouse gases it produces. These issues are complex as the involve educating the public that the climate change is real, it is caused by the use of fossil fuels, it requires scientists and engineers to understand the fundamental science in the production and storage of renewable energy, it requires industries to manufacture and distribute the equipment necessary for commercial application of these technologies, it requires policy makers to put together policies and guidelines to make the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies efficient, and it requires social scientists and educators to address environmental justice issues and create a workforce to sustain the transition. The symposium considered all the above issues with a diverse list of speakers from the federal and state government, industrial partners, and experts from science and technology to social sciences and public policy. Speakers from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Department of Energy, universities, and non-governmental agencies discussed the challenges and solutions in Plenary as well as Panel sessions. The talks were recorded with permission from the speakers and the panelists and were put in the ISEE website. The participants included students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors from Virginia Commonwealth University and local area Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) such as Virginia State University and Norfolk State University. The $5000 fund awarded by the Department of Energy were used to support the participation of students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from the HBCU institutions. The technical program the list of participants is provided later in the document.

Bioremediation of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds: DOE Experiences and Lessons Learned

From the mid-1980s to the present, the Department of Energy (DOE) has developed, tested, and deployed diverse bioremediation strategies for chlorinated volatile organic compounds (cVOCs). A systematic review of these projects after decades of activity provides an opportunity to identify crosscutting themes and lessons learned. The knowledge provided by a DOE bioremediation retrospective represents a resource to support current and future bioremediation operations, and future decisions related to cVOC bioremediation. This systematic review examined the design, objectives, performance and outcomes for remediation projects at DOE sites including Savannah River, Hanford, Idaho, Mound and Pinellas. The results were used to identify emergent themes to provide actionable insights. The bioremediation retrospective technical team first developed standardized criteria to support the systematic review. Then, the evaluation was performed using a sequential process that was informed by local technical experts who identified and provided the structured information that served as the basis for the evaluation. The participation of these experts was invaluable to the effort. Importantly, DOE cVOC bioremediation efforts were implemented based on the foundational knowledge developed by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) strategic and applied environmental technology development and certification programs, as well as technical, policy and regulatory guidance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), industry, and universities. To maximize the value of the DOE cVOC bioremediation retrospective, the systematic review strategy focused on identifying important DOE-specific experiences, trends and lessons learned that would extend the knowledge available from these other key entities.

VA Community Determinants of Health Data Curation Documentation FY26-Q2

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) places the health and well-being of our nation’s veterans as its top priority. VA is dedicated to offering timely access to high-quality, evidence-based mental health care that meets the needs of veterans and supports their reintegration into society. One of our core missions is to prevent suicide among veterans through innovative approaches and resources. With funding from the VA Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention (OMHSP), the Community Determinants of Health (EDH) Data project has developed innovative datasets associated with specific health outcomes, a methodology for transforming spatiotemporal data from one spatial reference (e.g., a 1 km grid) to another (e.g., U.S. Census Tracts), and capabilities for modeling health outcomes. These datasets represent an enhancement of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), addressing key gaps by introducing finer spatial resolution (Census Tract) and additional geographical covariates into existing data. The curation and standardization of these datasets is a complex task since they often originate from various sources and are measured at different spatial and temporal resolutions. For example, U.S. Census data products typically use census blocks, block groups, or counties, while data like weather data are available on 1 km grids. Some economic data may only be available at the ZIP code level. In this context, ‘standardized’ means that all datasets share the same spatial extent (e.g., U.S. Census Tract and/or County), and ‘curated’ implies a repeatable process with data provenance and the use of appropriate methodologies for covariate conversion. The Community Determinants of Health datasets draw from multiple sources, resulting in variables with varying degrees of availability, patterns of missing data, and methodological considerations across different sources, geographies, and years.

Variation in Biomass Yield and Cell Wall Composition in Switchgrass Natural Variants Under Two Nitrogen Regimes

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a promising lignocellulosic biofuel crop for which biomass and processing quality are important. Inherent plant variability across genotypes and environments challenges uniformity and product quality. In this study, the impact of nitrogen (N) application on switchgrass yield and quality was examined under field conditions using a highly diverse switchgrass panel over a 4-year period at Knoxville, TN. Overall, biomass production was correlated between low (0 kg of added N/ha) and moderate (135 kg of added N/ha) nitrogen treatments, suggesting that the N impact is largely uniform across the genotypes. Nonetheless, high biomass genotypes were identified with high nitrogen-use efficiency ; biomass was congruent or even higher (up to 9-fold) in the low N treatment. Genotypes were also identified with up to 94% nitrogen-remobilization efficiency. Furthermore, nitrogen application appeared to impact lignin content in whole tillers but was neutral to lignin monomer syringyl-to-guaiacyl (S/G) ratio. The same panel grown under natural conditions in Watkinsville, GA, produced significantly more biomass than the Tennessee panel in the first 3 years, but biomass was similar across both sites and treatments in year 4. Top performing genotypes overlapped between sites by 20-37%. There were low correlations in lignin content in whole tillers across the two field sites, but moderate correlations were observed for S/G ratios. The high yielding genotypes from the low N plot identified in this study can be used in breeding programs and management strategies in switchgrass to evade adverse environmental and economic effects.

Quasiclassical sampling and Wigner sampling of initial vibrational coordinates and momenta for polyatomic molecules in Monte Carlo molecular dynamics simulations

In a quasiclassical trajectory simulation, the vibrational modes are initialised with quantised vibrational energies, but vibrational phases are sampled by Monte Carlo. This requires an algorithm to assign coordinates and momenta to the various atoms. In this work, we present two methods for implementing this for nonrotating polyatomic molecules, namely, fixed-energy vibrational-state-selected initial conditions and thermal initial conditions. We also present a method for initiating classical trajectories with a ground-state Wigner distribution. These vibrational treatments are sufficient to initialise trajectories for unimolecular processes, and we also show how they can be applied to simulate bimolecular collision processes. The treatments of unimolecular and bimolecular collision processes are available in two Python codes called wigner_state_selected.py and bimolecular_collision.py, respectively, which will generate initial condition files that are recognisable by the SHARC and SHARC-MN computer programs for dynamics calculations. Both codes are available as standalone programs, as well as being included in SHARC-MN, and they will be included in future versions of SHARC. Here, the methods implemented in these codes are mostly also available in the ANT computer program, and those that are not available in ANT will be incorporated in future versions of ANT.

Accumulation of trace elements in soil and fauna within a site historically contaminated with coal combustion residues

Legacy contaminants tied to energy production are a worldwide concern. Coal combustion residues (CCRs) contain high concentrations of potentially toxic trace elements such as arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and selenium (Se), which can persist for decades after initial contamination. Coal combustion residue disposal methods, including aquatic settling basins and landfills, can facilitate environmental exposure through intentional and accidental releases. Wildlife exposed to CCRs can experience numerous deleterious effects, such as on development, reproduction, and survival. In the current study, we quantified and compared concentrations of As, Hg, Se, and strontium (Sr) within soils and target fauna (three vertebrate and three invertebrate taxa) from a CCR-contaminated site and a reference site within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, South Carolina, United States. Our objectives were to (1) compare current concentrations of tested elements in soil and resident fauna to levels from our reference site, (2) assess natural attenuation of elements in soils by comparing current concentrations to historic levels, and (3) evaluate the biomagnification potential of the elements measured via body burden and trophic position correlations among fauna. Here, element concentrations were higher in contaminated soils than reference soils; however, concentrations in 2022 were unchanged from concentrations measured in 2003, suggesting no natural attenuation of tested elements. Additionally, target fauna had elevated As, Se, and Sr levels in comparison to reference samples. A positive correlation was observed in southern toads between Sr concentrations and trophic position, as assessed by nitrogen stable isotope ratios, suggesting potential for biomagnification of Sr within our study system. Collectively, our results demonstrate that legacy contaminants are still present and bioaccumulate in a diversity of taxa in a CCR-contaminated site that has not received effluents in more than 50 years, suggesting monitoring programs in CCR-contaminated sites should be maintained long term in the absence of remediation.

Multi-trait multi-environment genomic prediction strategies for Miscanthus sacchariflorus

Genomic selection holds the potential to serve as a strategic tool to enhance the genetic gain of complex traits in Miscanthus breeding programs. The development of improved cultivars requires their assessment for various traits across diverse environments to ensure suitable overall performance. Hence, the multi-trait multi-environment (MTME) genomic prediction (GP) models offer an opportunity to improve selection accuracy. This study aims to evaluate the potential of five GP models: (1) three MTME models including genotype-by-trait-by-environment interaction (G×E×T) and (2) two single-trait multi-environment (STME) models (with and without G×E interaction). A Miscanthus sacchariflorus population comprising 336 genotypes evaluated in three environments and scored for four traits (biomass yield YDY, total culm number TCM, average internode length AIL, and culm node number CNN) was analyzed. The predictive ability of the models was evaluated considering three cross-validation schemes resembling realistic scenarios (CV1: predicting new genotypes, CVP: predicting missing traits in a given environment, and CV2: predicting partially observed genotypes). On average, in all cross-validation schemes compared to the STME the predictive ability of the MTME models was 10% to 70% higher for TCM and AIL. On the other hand, for YDY and CNN, both STME models performed similarly or slightly better (between 5 to 64%) than the MTME models in most environments. While the MTME models were not successful for all traits when compared to their STME counterparts, MTME models improved the prediction of the performance of genotypes that were untested across environments or lacked trait information in a specific environment. Overall, our study suggests that MTME GP models can be implemented in Miscanthus breeding programs to improve the predictive ability of the complex traits, shorten breeding cycles, and accelerate selection decisions.

Investigating Material Properties of Subsurface Rock Formations Modified by Engineering Mineral Precipitation (Final Scientific and Technical Report)

Montana State University’s (MSU) Energy Research Institute (ERI), in collaboration with the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE) and the Department of Civil Engineering (CE), has conducted a long‐term research program aimed at developing a novel cementing agent to address wellbore integrity and reduce the unwanted upward migration of fluids and greenhouse gases from the subsurface. The primary technology developed through this research program is known as ureolysis‐induced calcite precipitation (UICP), which harnesses bio‐chemical processes to precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ). The same general process can also be called microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) when microbes provide the process-catalyzing urease enzyme. Both terms are used in this report. Results have conclusively demonstrated that, if properly controlled, UICP can successfully seal fractures, high permeability zones, and compromised cement in the vicinity of wellbores and in nearby caprock. This technology has been successfully deployed to mitigate annular leakage in two test wells and over sixty commercial wells with a 100% success rate. This success in downhole deployment generates consideration of other subsurface applications where UICP could provide benefit to the energy sector, such as shale property modification for unconventional oil and gas recovery. The focus of this research project was to investigate fundamental material and mechanical properties of select shale cores and analyze how these properties change due to engineered mineral precipitation with the intent to control these properties to achieve a range of engineering objectives. Ultimately, the project aim was to identify valuable new areas where application of UICP might contribute to national energy security and environmental protection. The research workplan coupled UICP treatment of core samples, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization, and mechanical strength testing at MSU with advanced X‐Ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) imaging and numerical modeling performed by collaborators at two national laboratories, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Experimental results are useful to inform geo-mechanical models which could be applied to predict mineralized rock formation behavior at field scale. Our findings suggest that NMR and μCT methods to detect and quantify biomineral formation in shale fractures are complementary and consistent with each other. Either could be used to estimate the volume of new mineral formed by UICP in shale fractures. The use of surfactants and guar gum to enhance biomineral precipitation in shale fractures merits further research. UICP can, under some conditions, increase the tensile strength of sealed shale fractures beyond that of the intact shale. These findings demonstrate that continued research in this area may be valuable to understanding and improving shale resource recovery techniques.

Data-Driven Energy Resilience Assessment and Enhancement in Urban Communities: A Case Study in Detroit

This paper presents a data-driven framework for assessing and enhancing energy resilience in urban communities. The resilience assessment is based on two datasets: 1) annual aggregated power outage data and 2) 15-minute interval outage data. High-impact, low-probability (HILP) events are identified within these datasets to evaluate community resilience under extreme conditions. To enhance resilience, an optimization framework utilizing mixed integer linear programming is developed to determine the optimal sizing and placement of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery energy storage systems (BESS). This method offers a cost-effective and practical solution for improving energy resilience in vulnerable communities. Furthermore, a case study of the City of Detroit in Michigan demonstrates the effectiveness of the framework through simulation and validation.

Spatial description of dislocation nucleation in the shock response of single-crystal aluminum

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of shock loaded single-crystal Al in the $\langle$100$\rangle$, $\langle$110$\rangle$, $\langle$111$\rangle$, and $\langle$123$\rangle$ orientations are conducted to study elastic and plastic shockwave formation and details associated with dislocation activity. A computer vision-based approach is implemented to capture the presence of dislocations and describe their spatial characteristics in the zone of nucleation behind the propagating shockwave. The methodology developed relies on the sequences of images extracted during shock loading that show dislocation activity within a cross section of the sample. Results reveal that the spacing between activated slip systems is orientation dependent and exhibits a modest reduction for the $\langle$100$\rangle$ and $\langle$111$\rangle$ orientations as shock pressure increases. Comparisons are made to existing theoretical models. Such relationships between shock pressure and dislocation activity, extracted from molecular dynamics simulations, can be used to inform higher length scale simulations or modeling of dislocation-based plasticity during shock.

COMPUTATION FLUID DYNAMICS ANALYSIS FOR GENERIC SMALL MODULAR REACTOR CONTAINMENT SEPARATE EFFECTS TEST

It is desirable for fourth-generation Small Modular Reactors to be passively cooled in standard and accident operations. Passive Containment Cooling Systems can reject heat from the containment structure, without using pumps or blowers. The targeted design containment structure is a large, domed, stainless steel, cylindrical vessel. In a postulated Design Basis Accident, steam will flash inside containment. Steam condensation occurs on the inner containment wall and transfers heat through the steel containment into a large body of water known as the annular reservoir (AR) surrounding the vessel serving as the ultimate heat sink. Natural circulation drives the flow in the AR and heat will be released to the environment by evaporation of water. Unique containment geometry requires a separate effects test (SET) facility for the verification and validation of the computer code and evaluation model development and assessment for reactor licensing efforts. In this study, STAR-CCM+, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code was used to inform the decision-making process on the design of the SET. The CFD simulation modeled, a two-phase turbulent flow with fluid film development and heat transfer for different containment geometries. The Reactor Excursion and Leak Analysis Program will also be used in a code-to-code verification against the CFD results.
