The U.S. Department of Energy Gulf Coast Clean Energy Application Center (GC CEAC) is based at the Houston Advanced Research Center in The Woodlands, Texas. It was created with funding from the US DOE to promote clean energy technology through the use of combined heat and power (CHP), waste heat recovery (WHR), and district energy (DE) in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The Center attempts to educate prospective adopters of clean energy, foster clean energy technologies as viable technical and economic options in the three-state region, and to leverage existing and potential regional resources. The GC CEAC works closely with the Texas CHP Initiative, a business association that supports clean energy, to increase market penetration and promote clean energy policymaking.

Mission

The mission of the GC CEAC is to help the DOE triple the nation's clean energy capacity from an estimated 85 GW to 241 GW by 2030 by being a champion for CHP, WHR, and DE in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Goal

GC CEAC aims to identify, facilitate, or positively influence the development of CHP, WHR, and DE in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
