This
Funding Opportunity (FOA), issued by the Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy, on behalf of the Industrial Efficiency and
Decarbonization Office (IEDO) will advance the strategies identified in
the Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and Industrial Heat Energy
Earthshot and will focus on cross-sector approaches for industrial
decarbonization (such as thermal processing, low-carbon fuels
utilization, and exploratory cross-sector topics), along with
high-GHG-emitting subsectors (such as chemicals, iron and steel, food
and beverage, cement and concrete, and forest products). The IEDO is issuing this FOA to fund high-impact, applied research, development, and pilot-scale technology validation and demonstration projects to advance the transformational technologies and innovations necessary to reduce energy use and GHG emissions in the industrial sector. This FOA advances the strategies identified in the Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and supports the goals of the Industrial Heat Shot™ through its focus on cross-sector approaches for industrial decarbonization along with high GHG-emitting subsectors.
The topics included are:
Topic 1: Decarbonizing Industrial Heat
Topic 2: Low-Carbon Fuels Utilization R&D
Topic 3a: Enabling Flexible Industrial Energy Use
Topic 3b: Enhanced Thermal Conductivity Materials
Topic 4: Decarbonizing Chemicals
Topic 5: Decarbonizing Iron and Steel
Topic 6: Decarbonizing Food and Beverage Products
Topic 7: Decarbonizing Cement and Concrete
