The Department of Energy is offering this grant to advance locomotive engine efficiency and reduce environmental impact. This grant is for the development and demonstration of commercially viable, minimally invasive, and retrofittable high-pressure heat exchangers. These crucial components are designed to convert both low- and high-grade waste heat from diesel-electric locomotive engines into usable energy. The ultimate goal is to achieve significant fuel savings, decrease pollutant emissions, and mitigate thermal pollution, contributing to a more sustainable transportation sector through innovative waste heat recovery and conversion technologies.
