Federal energy research funding has a profound impact on Ohio, in part due to the important research institutions located here at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the NASA Glenn Research Center. Speaking with Midwest Energy News, Alexis Abramson, Director of GLEI, highlighted the impact federal research funding has on technology development and the economy in Ohio. "Such funding is driving clean energy development, leading to commercialization of technologies and creating jobs," she said. 

Energy-related research in Ohio that is supported by Federal funding includes energy storage solutions, solar energy, building energy efficiency through virtual energy audits, energy efficient production of titanium, fuel cell research and development, and building-to-grid research.
