Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling Grant Program (Planned NOFO) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). This program will support demonstration- and commercial-scale projects that process, recycle, or manufacture critical minerals and materials, including rare earth elements, for batteries.
Applicants must identify domestic downstream customers and will receive priority if they commit to avoiding material sourced from Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOCs) and not exporting recovered materials to FEOCs.

The Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleOn August 20, 2026 the Energy Department named seven selections across the Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling programs. Three of the seven are recycling or reprocessing. Two awards hit the $100 million ceiling. The round is 83% smaller than Round 2, and the composition tells you exactly what DOE will fund next.
Read articleThe Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office issued a Notice of Intent on July 14 for ASPECT — up to $58 million in cooperative agreements for producing chemicals from alternative and waste feedstocks, with the full NOFO expected August 24, 2026.
