systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in title 10 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In January 2020, DOE launched the 

Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) 

to facilitate a department-wide strategy 

to accelerate the development, 

commercialization, and use of nextgeneration energy storage technologies 

and sustain American global leadership 

in energy storage. The ESGC executes 

DOE’s overarching strategy to address 

energy storage for the benefit of all 

Americans. In December 2020, DOE 

released the ESGC Roadmap (https://

www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/ 

2020/12/f81/Energy%20Storage

%20Grand%20Challenge%20

Roadmap.pdf), the Department’s first 

comprehensive energy storage strategy. 

The ESGC seeks to create and sustain 

American leadership in energy storage. 

In addition to concerted research efforts, 

the ESGC 2020 Roadmap’s approach 

includes accelerating the transition of 

technologies from the lab to the 

marketplace, focusing on ways to 

competitively manufacture technologies 

at scale in the United States, and 

ensuring secure supply chains to enable 

domestic manufacturing. 

The ESGC 2020 Roadmap was 

developed to align DOE’s energy storage 

activities toward a common goal of 

developing new energy storage 

technologies to help tackle challenges 

associated with our evolving electricity 

grid’s ability to accommodate 

increasingly diverse energy sources to 

meet consumer needs. The ESGC 2020 

Roadmap provided strategic direction to 

DOE’s program activities related to 

energy storage based on the state of the 

industry and the research and 

development (R&D) community at that 

time. Since 2020, DOE has determined 

updates to the ESGC 2020 Roadmap are 

warranted to help improve the 

effectiveness and efficiency with which 

the Department executes its energy 

storage activities. 

This draft Energy Storage Strategy and 

Roadmap (SRM) update conforms to the 

language set forth in the ‘‘Energy 

Storage System Research, Development, 

and Deployment Program’’ as required 

by the Better Energy Storage Technology 

(BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act 

of 2020 (42 U.S.C. 17232(b)(5)). 

Specifically, this draft Energy Storage 

SRM updates the ESGC 2020 Roadmap 

(the original energy storage strategic 

plan) in consideration of the progress 

made across the energy storage sector 

since 2020, as well as to reflect DOE’s 

recent activities in support of its energy 

storage mission and vision. The draft 

Energy Storage SRM can be found here: 

https://www.energy.gov/oe/draft-energystorage-strategy-and-roadmapstakeholder-comment.

Overview of the Draft Energy Storage 

SRM 

The draft Energy Storage SRM 

represents a significantly expanded 

strategic revision on the original ESGC 

2020 Roadmap. This SRM outlines 

actions that implement the strategic 

objectives facilitating safe, beneficial 

and timely storage deployment; 

empower decisionmakers by providing 

data-driven information analysis; and 

leverage the country’s global leadership 

to advance durable engagement 

throughout the innovation ecosystem. 

The underlying motivation for DOE’s 

strategic investment in energy storage is 

to ensure that the American people will 

have access to energy storage 

innovations that enable resilient, 

flexible, affordable, and secure energy 

systems and supply, for everyone, 

everywhere. This updated SRM presents 

a clarified mission and vision, a 

strategic approach, and a path forward 

to achieving specific objectives that 

empower a self-sustaining energy 

storage ecosystem that develops, 

delivers, and deploys breakthrough 

solutions to meet a range of real-world 

applications, across multiple time 

horizons. This SRM does not address 

new policy actions, nor does it specify 

budgets and resources for future 

activities. 

The draft Energy Storage SRM is 

structured as follows: 

Introduction providing the context for 

the present draft of the SRM. 

Section 1 of this SRM presents the 

mission and vision driving DOE’s 

energy storage activities across various 

DOE programs and offices. The mission 

identifies the purpose of DOE’s 

coordinated energy storage efforts while 

the vision describes the desired endstate for this SRM.

establishes the blueprint for DOE’s 

energy storage roadmap (Section 5). The 

roadmap provides more tactical 

direction, informed by the mission, 

vision, and strategic approach. 

Section 3 presents an overview of the 

types of DOE activities that support 

DOE’s Energy Storage SRM. Activities 

include not only conventional research 

activities, but also those efforts that are 

foundational and crosscutting in 

support of the mission and vision of the 

SRM as well as stakeholder 

engagements. Representative activities 

are identified in the appendix. 

Section 4 describes the portfolio of 

energy storage technologies and 

highlights opportunities for future DOE 

investment based on the current 

landscape of technologies and use cases. 

Section 5 describes the path forward 

to achieve the strategic objectives and 

vision of this Energy Storage SRM. This 

section highlights DOE activities to 

facilitate technology innovation and 

deployment, to empower decisionmakers, and to strengthen collaboration 

throughout the energy storage 

ecosystem. 

Finally, Section 6 summarizes 

anticipated outcomes and next steps 

over the next decade as DOE works to 

implement this Energy Storage SRM. 

The appendices provide additional 

context for the Energy Storage SRM: 

Appendix A identifies DOE offices 

with relevant energy storage R&D 

programs. 

Appendix B provides a list of 

acronyms used in this document. 

Appendix C provides a list of key 

terms and definitions used in this 

document. 

Appendix D provides updates to the 

ESGC 2020 Roadmap action items and 

targets; it also describes major 

transitions from the ESGC 2020 

Roadmap to the current SRM. 

Appendix E identifies representative 

DOE activities contributing to DOE’s 

energy storage portfolio. 

Appendix F reviews the relevant 2015 

Grid Modernization Initiative MultiYear Program Plan (GMI MYPP) energy 

storage activities and provides updates 

on recommended tasks. Additionally, 

relevant elements of the GMI MYPP 

2020 Update are also discussed. 

Appendix G highlights relevant policy 

and regulatory drivers impacting the 

energy storage landscape. 

Appendix H highlights representative 

examples of DOE’s international energy 

storage activities and initiatives. 

Appendix I summarizes the 

recommendations from the Electricity 

Advisory Committee’s 2022 Biennial

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 2024 

LNG Export Study and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy & 

Carbon Management (FECM) of the 

Department of Energy (DOE) gives 

notice of availability of a multi-volume 

study updating DOE’s understanding of 

the potential effects of U.S. liquefied 

natural gas (LNG) exports on the 

domestic economy; U.S. households and 

consumers; communities that live near 

locations where natural gas is produced 

or exported; domestic and international 

energy security, including effects on 

U.S. trading partners; and the 

environment and climate (Study or 2024 

LNG Export Study). The Study is 

composed of a summary report and four 

appendices containing three 

coordinated modeled analyses and a 

qualitative literature review. The Study 

materials are available on the DOE/ 

FECM website at https://

www.energy.gov/fecm/regulation. DOE 

intends to use the Study to inform its 

public interest review of, and ultimately 

decisions in, certain applications to 

export LNG to countries with which the 

United States does not have a free trade 

agreement (FTA) requiring national 

treatment for trade in natural gas and 

with which trade is not prohibited by 

U.S. law or policy (non-FTA 

applications), including decisions in the 

above-referenced proceedings and 

future proceedings, and for other 

purposes. DOE invites the submission of 

comments regarding the Study. DOE 

does not intend to revise the Study 

upon receipt of comments. Rather, 

comments received will inform DOE’s 

public interest determination in each of 

the above-listed non-FTA application 

proceedings and future non-FTA export 

proceedings. Comments submitted in 

compliance with the instructions in this 

Notice will be placed in the 

administrative record for all of the 

above-listed proceedings and need only 

be submitted once. 

DATES: Comments are to be filed 

pursuant to the procedures detailed in 

the Public Comment Procedures section 

no later than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, 

February 18, 2025. DOE will not accept 

reply comments (i.e., comments 

responding to other commenter’s 

comments).
