The '''Energy Innovation Hubs''' program, launched by the Department of Energy in 2010, oversees a network of multidisciplinary research centers tackling grand energy challenges, with five active hubs as of 2025 supported by various DOE offices, including the [[Office of Science]] and [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE). | |||
Modeled after the Manhattan Project and Bell Labs, it has funded hubs like the [[Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis]] (JCAP, 2010-2020), the [[Energy Efficient Buildings Hub]] (EEB Hub, 2010-2016), and newer efforts like the [[Energy Storage Research Alliance]] (ESRA), launched in September 2024 with $62.5 million, driving innovations such as nanostructured catalysts and high-density batteries.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/science-innovation/energy-innovation-hubs |title=Energy Innovation Hubs |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> | |||
With over $600 million invested across its hubs by 2025, the program continues to evolve, supporting DOE’s Energy Earthshots and clean energy goals. | |||
