Fact Sheets

The Advanced Manufacturing Office's (AMO) Distributed Energy (DE) portfolio includes R&D on advanced reciprocating engine systems (ARES), combined heat and power (CHP) technologies, as well as demonstrations of these technologies and integrated energy systems (IES). AMO's DE portfolio also includes demonstration projects for district energy installations, waste energy recovery systems, and efficient industrial equipment. Fact sheets on selected AMO DE and CHP R&D and demonstration projects are available below. Additional resources include DOE CHP program fact sheets—when AMO was the Industrial Technologies Program—and a summary of DOE Regional Clean Energy Application Center (CEAC) locations, contacts, and websites.
