Carnegie Mellon receives $1.85 million
Date:2/7/2008

ur NSF-supported Center for Climate Decision Making, have laid the groundwork that makes us the obvious choice to do this kind of work, Khosla said.

The grant to Carnegie Mellon is part of a $100 million Climate Change Initiative created by the DDCF to develop new energy technologies that can help society reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a cleaner economy.

By focusing these grants on how energy technology innovation occurs and how it can be improved through better policy, the aim is to ensure that tomorrows clean energy technologies emerge on an accelerated timeline, said Andrew Bowman, director of the DDCFs Climate Change Initiative.

The grants, totaling more than $6.6 million to an elite group of research universities and policy think tanks nationwide, support research in two categories. The first set will assess the innovation systems already in place for energy technologies and suggest improvements to policies that guide this type of research. The second group of research grants will address ways new technologies can quickly be brought on line.
