'''Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry (CCPC)''' is a collaborative effort led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the Department of Energy, uniting six national labs to apply computational physics and chemistry to the research and development of bioenergy technologies, enhancing biofuel production and sustainability. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.energy.gov/science/bes/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry}} ==Mission== The Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry focuses on advancing bioenergy technologies by integrating computational science with experimental approaches, using high-performance computing to model complex bioenergy processes across atomic, mesoscale, and reactor scales. It aims to accelerate the discovery of new materials and optimize biofuel production systems, supporting the DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) goals for sustainable energy solutions.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/science/bes/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry |title=CCPC Overview |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Parent organization== The Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry operates under the [[Department of Energy]], specifically within the Office of Science’s Basic Energy Sciences and BETO, leveraging DOE’s national laboratory network for bioenergy advancements.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/science/bes/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry |title=CCPC Overview |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Legislation== The CCPC was not established by specific legislation but was formed through DOE’s internal funding and organizational directives under the Bioenergy Technologies Office, aligning with broader DOE mandates like the Energy Policy Act of 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/bioenergy-technologies-office |title=BETO Overview |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Partners== * [[Oak Ridge National Laboratory]] (lead) * [[National Renewable Energy Laboratory]] for bioenergy research * [[Pacific Northwest National Laboratory]] for computational chemistry<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry-ccpc-partners |title=CCPC Partners |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> * [[Argonne National Laboratory]], [[Idaho National Laboratory]], [[Sandia National Laboratories]] for multi-lab collaboration ==Number of employees== The exact number of employees in CCPC is not publicly specified, as it draws staff from its six member national labs rather than maintaining a distinct workforce.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry-ccpc-partners |title=CCPC Partners |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Organization structure== CCPC integrates expertise across multiple labs with a liaison-based leadership model: ===Leader=== The Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry is headed by a Director based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry-ccpc-leadership |title=CCPC Leadership |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ===Divisions=== The divisions include: * Atomic Scale Modeling Team for catalytic processes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/science/bes/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry |title=CCPC Overview |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> * Mesoscale Modeling Team for mass and heat transfer. * Reactor Scale Modeling Team for commercial-scale simulations. ==List of programs== * BETO-HPC User Program for high-performance computing access<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/bioenergy/consortium-computational-physics-and-chemistry-ccpc-leveraging-doe-computational |title=CCPC HPC Resources |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> * Fluidized Bed Reactor Modeling for pyrolysis research * Bioenergy Materials Discovery for new catalysts and fuels ==Last total enacted budget== The specific budget for CCPC is not publicly isolated, as it’s funded through BETO’s broader allocation within DOE’s FY 2024 budget of $10.1 billion.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2023-03/doe-fy-2024-budget-volume-1-v4.pdf |title=FY 2024 Budget |publisher=Department of Energy |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Staff== CCPC’s staff comprises scientists and engineers from its six national labs, including computational physicists and chemists, though no distinct employee count is provided;
