ESTCP has selected forty-five new start projects to begin in FY 2021. These projects responded to the FY 2021 ESTCP solicitation for Environmental and Installation Energy and Water Technologies. Topics addressed by these projects include innovative technology transfer approaches; management of contaminated groundwater; long term management of contaminated aquatic sediments; improved energy efficiency and security; munitions response in underwater environments; enhanced energy and installation water resiliency; building level energy storage systems; and coastal total water level model comparative assessment.
The tables below list the FY 2021 ESTCP new start projects for Environmental Restoration, Installation Energy and Water, Munitions Response, Resource Conservation and Resiliency, and Weapons Systems and Platforms.
As project overviews become available, a link to each project webpage will be provided below. Information on these and other SERDP and ESTCP projects is also available under Focus Areas.
