### Three Northwest Federal Facilities Receive
DOE Industrial Project Funding

Three federal energy-related facilities in the Northwest have been awarded U.S. Department of Energy funding for industrial energy efficiency projects aimed at improving manufacturing processes, DOE announced in an Oct. 21 news release.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA, was awarded a total of $2.3 million for two projects in the forest products sector and one in the mining sector. Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Lab in Idaho Falls was awarded a total of $988,000 for three mining sector projects, and the U.S. DOE's Albany Research Center in Albany, OR, was awarded $264,000 for one mining initiative.

Boise Cascade Corp. in Boise, Idaho, was awarded $75,000 for a plant-wide energy assessment.

DOE plans to invest nearly $33 million altogether in 56 energy-saving research, development and deployment projects in the aluminum, forest products, metal casting, mining and steel industries. "It is expected that the projects will help improve many everyday manufacturing processes," said the DOE news release.
