The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is teaming up with San Antonio International Airport in Texas to advance sustainable aviation technologies such as batteries for electric aircraft, energy storage solutions, and power management systems.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), the DOE’s innovation unit, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the city’s aviation department and public service board (CPS Energy), as well as the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), in which the partners pledged to collaborate on developing and promoting technologies that will help to decarbonize the aviation sector.
San Antonio mayor Ron Nirenberg joined representatives from ARPA-E, UTSA, and CPS Energy for a signing ceremony held at Stinson Municipal Airport in San Antonio. “This is an important agreement with the potential to shape the aviation industry of the future,” Nirenberg said. “Researching the decarbonization of aviation and finding new sustainable energy models is important work, and I am proud San Antonio will be playing a leading role in this cutting-edge research.”
