about the center

The U.S. Department of Energy Pacific Clean Energy Application Center (PCEAC) is based at the Energy and Resources Group, University of California, Berkeley and at the Advanced Power & Energy Program, University of California at Irvine. It also involves close collaboration with the Industrial Assessment Centers at San Diego State University and San Francisco State University. PCEAC 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 California, Hawaii, and Nevada. 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.

Mission
The mission of the PCEAC is to help the DOE double 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 California, Hawaii, and Nevada.

Goal
The goal of the PCEAC is to identify, facilitate, or positively influence the development of CHP, WHR, and DE in California, Hawaii, and Nevada.

Our Services
The PCEAC is here to facilitate additional implementation of CHP, WHR, and DE in California, Hawaii, and Nevada. We promote the deployment of integrated systems that provide both electrical generation and thermal energy that can be used to provide heating and/or cooling for buildings or industrial manufacturing applications.

PCEAC provides basic information and assistance to anyone interested in clean energy technologies or applications including:
