Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations | Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations Deliver clean energy demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment and market adoption.
Applicant & Award Resources OCED is a multi-technology office with demonstrations that include clean hydrogen, carbon management, advanced nuclear reactors, long-duration energy storage, industrial demonstrations, demonstrations in rural areas and on current and former mine land, and more. The Liftoff Enabling Programs support the replication, market liftoff, and deployment of OCED’s clean energy technologies.
Liftoff Enabling Programs The Advanced Nuclear projects will speed up the demonstration of advanced reactors through cost-shared partnerships with U.S. industry. These innovative nuclear technologies are ideally sized and designed to provide flexible electricity output and as process heat for a wide range of industrial heat applications as well as desalination and hydrogen production.
Advanced Reactor Demonstrations Program The Carbon Management portfolio contains three programs: the Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program, the Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Programs, and Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs.
These new programs will help accelerate the demonstration and deployment of carbon management technologies, supporting efforts to create good-paying manufacturing jobs, reduce pollution to deliver healthier communities, and reinforce America’s global competitiveness in the clean energy technologies of the future.
Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects The Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen.
Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs The Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP) will accelerate projects in energy-intensive industries and provide American manufacturers a competitive advantage in the race to lead the world in low- and no carbon manufacturing. This program will be a central driver in helping solidify a “first-mover” advantage for U.S. industry, bolstering its competitiveness globally for decades into the future.
Industrial Demonstrations Program The Renewables & Grid portfolio includes Distributed Energy Systems, Long-Duration Enery Storage, Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land, and Energy Improvement in Rural or Remote Areas.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Vinnova, Sweden's national innovation agency, funds projects developing applied AI solutions for Swedish industry through its Advanced Digitalization Programme. Each project can apply for between 2 and 10 million SEK (approximately $190,000 to $950,000 USD) covering up to 50% of eligible project costs. The total call budget is 60 million SEK. Projects run for 12-24 months and focus on two key areas: Intelligent Edge (AI for real-time application in the sensor chain) and AI-based decision support. All projects must address industrial needs and integrate gender equality and climate change perspectives. Scientific publications must be open access. A parallel call also funds AI and cybersecurity projects at 1-10 million SEK per project with a 50 million SEK total budget.
On April 20, 2026, the White House declared grid, natural gas, LNG, petroleum, and coal 'essential to national defense,' unlocking DPA Title III loans, loan guarantees, and purchase commitments through DOE. Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
Read articleThe Energy Department's flagship Early Career Research Program is funded at $145M for FY2026 — $79M in current-year dollars, the rest contingent on FY27 appropriations. Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
