SUMMARY:DOE Debt to Catalyze Scale Up
DESCRIPTION:As decarbonization projects transition from early-stage innovation to large-scale deployment\, access to capital is critical. In this session\, equity investors and representatives from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) debt programs will share their perspectives on how DOE debt can serve as a powerful tool to catalyze the scaling of decarbonization projects and companies. With insights into how DOE’s lending authority complements private equity\, this discussion will explore the role of DOE debt in overcoming financial barriers\, reducing project risk\, and accelerating the deployment of commercially viable technologies. \nJoin this session to explore \n\nHow can DOE debt align with private equity to fuel the growth of decarbonization companies?\nWhat are case studies of successful DOE-backed projects that have leveraged both equity and debt to achieve scale?\nWhat are strategies for navigating the intersection of public and private capital to accelerate the clean energy transition?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTodd Lapenna\nPartner\, Infrastructure and Real Assets\, StepStone

SUMMARY:One Year of VPPs: How Puerto Rico Can Inform Resilience and Power Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Puerto Rico has pioneered a virtual power plant (VPP) program and has seen immediate results through improved grid reliability and reduced brownouts. Through investments such as DOE’s $3 Billion partial loan guarantee for Project Hestia and the Grid Deployment Office’s $450 million to spread through funding opportunities for residential rooftop solar and battery storage installments\, the mechanisms for growth are in place. In this session\, we will hear lessons learned from those who made this possible: regulators\, utilities\, power aggregators\, and investors. We will explore how Puerto Rico’s experience can inform VPPs everywhere — community-driven solutions that build resilience and provide power to the people who need it most. \nJoin Puerto Rico\, DOE\, and industry leaders in this interactive session to explore: \n\nWhat are the program design\, growth\, sustainability and successes in Puerto Rico?\nWhat have we learned from these VPP deployments and what are the national implications?\nWhat does it look in practice to fund\, finance\, and invest in in Virtual Power Plants?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nElizabeth Wolfe\nSenior Consultant\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nJeff Wahl\nVice President of Customer Programs\, LUMA Energy \n\n\n \nFausto Hernández\nSenior Manager\, Infrastructure Department\, Financial Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico \n\n\n\n\n \nMeghan Nutting\nExecutive VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs\, Sunnova Energy Corporation \n\n\n \nAllison Archambault\nPresident\, EarthSpark International

SUMMARY:USA Sourced Critical Materials: From Byproducts to Coproducts
DESCRIPTION:DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has committed an estimated $176 million since January 2021 for projects that support critical minerals and materials exploration\, resource identification\, production\, and processing in traditional mining and fossil fuel-producing communities across the country. Initial estimates suggest that unconventional and secondary sources could provide significant amounts of the rare earth elements and other critical minerals and materials. For example\, wastes and byproducts from known fossil fuel reserves and other industries nation-wide currently contain more than 10 million tons of rare earth elements\, which is equivalent to more than a 300-year supply at the current rate of U.S. consumption. Energy and mining waste streams also need to be remediated\, so there is an opportunity to recover critical minerals during reclamation which puts the critical material recovery on a firm project timeline. \nJoin this session to: \n\nHear from project developers of unconventional and secondary sources of rare earth elements (REEs) and lithium (Li) in the U.S.\nDiscuss complementary DOE funding programs and EPA\, DEP remediation requirements\nHighlight opportunities for investors\, developers and other partners.\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nKwasi Ampofo\nHead of Metals and Mining\, BloombergNEF \n\n\n \nTodd Beers\nCOO\, Winner Water Services Inc. \n\n\n \nRemi Loiseau\nU.S. Lithium Manager\, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Barbara Arnold\nChair and Professor of Practice in Mining Engineering\, Penn State \n\n\n \nRyan Peay\nDeputy Assistant Secretary for Resource Sustainability\, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management\, U.S. Department of Energy
