About 2022 U.S.-Ukraine Alternative Energy Research Competition 

CRDF Global is currently accepting proposals from joint teams of U.S. and Ukrainian researchers for the 2022 U.S.-Ukraine Alternative Energy Research Competition.  

As the world’s population is projected to reach at least nine billion people by 2050 and energy consumption increases, alternative energy has the potential to become the least-expensive source of energy. Through the advancement of alternative energy sources, such as photovoltaic, turbine and biofuel technologies, scientific research holds great potential to generate affordable solutions to this complex problem.  

To that end, CRDF Global is currently accepting proposals from joint teams of U.S. and Ukrainian researchers focusing on alternative energy as it applies directly to the following sub-topics: 

Alternative Energy 

  • The competition will support U.S.-Ukrainian research teams engaged in basic or applied research in the area of photovoltaic, turbine and biofuel technology.
