Department of Energy Issues Notice of Intent to Fund Applied Research and Development for Materials and Technologies to Drive Innovation in Clean Manufacturing
Funding Opportunity Will Bolster American Manufacturing and Strengthen America's Economic Competitiveness

Today (Oct 14), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announced its intent to issue a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will drive innovation leading to economy-wide decarbonization, increased sustainability, and economic competitiveness. The "FY22 Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Building Technologies Office Multi-topic FOA" will support the Biden-Harris Administration's priorities to invest in the next-generation materials and manufacturing technologies needed to support manufacturing competitiveness, tackle the climate crisis, and move the U.S. towards a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.

U.S. manufacturing is vital to our nation's clean energy future. It is the backbone of our economy, providing millions of good-paying jobs for American workers across the country. Meeting our nation's climate goals will require research and development as well as demonstration to enable a rapid scale-up and full-scale deployment of next-generation manufacturing technologies to build competitive, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing systems and domestic supply chains.
