DOE announces approximately $15M to facilitate collaboration and accelerate industrial decarbonization

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) and the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), with support from the Industrial Efficiency & Decarbonization Office, and the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains, announced approximately $15 million in funding to address adoption challenges preventing later stage commercialization, demonstration, and deployment of industrial decarbonization technologies through the Collaborative Alignment for Critical Technology Industries – Industrial Decarbonization Lab Call.

This lab call aims to bring stakeholders together to address challenges that result when entities work on similar industrial decarbonization strategies in isolation, boosting collaboration and best practices alignment in three sectors: chemicals and refining, concrete and cement, and metals.

This lab call offers three topics areas:

  • Topic 1 - Collaborative Alignment on Decarbonization of Chemicals & Refining Industry: This topic focuses on engaging relevant stakeholders on the commercialization hurdles around the decarbonization and refining of chemicals production. Supporting the development of carbon intensity evaluation frameworks for chemical products to support green procurement efforts is of particular interest.

  • Topic 2 - Collaborative Alignment on Decarbonization of Concrete and Cement Industry: This topic will work with existing cement consortia and other relevant industry groups to promote the commercialization of cement products and processes that are ready for demonstration in real-world applications. The focus of this effort will be facilitating procurement of these materials and supporting commercialization of related products.

  • Topic 3 - Collaborative Alignment on Decarbonization of Metals Industry: This topic will support the commercialization and deployment of low-carbon products, processes, and feedstocks for iron, steel, steel mill products, and aluminum products. Additionally, this topic will contribute to efforts to harmonize domestic and international frameworks for carbon intensity.

National Laboratories must submit applications by 14 October.

The lab call is funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as part of the Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF). OTT and OCED expect to make one award per topic area of approximately $5 million (not including cost-share). Funded projects will be led by DOE National Laboratories with broad stakeholder participation from public and private organizations across the industrial decarbonization industry.
