Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Cadens have developed a 3D printing method for hydropower turbines, potentially reducing costs by up to 40%. This innovation allows for rapid, customized production and can retrofit existing dams, increasing the viability of small-scale hydropower. With around 90,000 dams in the U.S., only a small percentage currently generate electricity, highlighting the potential for expanded clean energy production.
