Sen. Cramer: Energy Dept Awards NDSU Funds for Energy Storage Research

Press Release

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the U.S. Department of Energy awarded the North Dakota State University (NDSU) funds for energy storage research.

"I am grateful for the Energy Department's consistent investment in North Dakota and its energy efforts," said Senator Cramer. "Today's award will help NDSU advance its research of efficient energy storage and sustainability."

The funds come as part of a nationwide investment into energy technologies. NDSU will use them for their efforts to develop a novel thermochemical absorption material for energy storage by embedding a framework of nanocellulose with hygroscopic salt. This material will serve as the basis for economical and highly efficient thermal energy storage systems and could potentially be used in other applications such as adsorption cooling.
