Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation | Department of Energy Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) is advancing America's critical minerals supply chains and accelerating next-generation energy technologies to strengthen our nation’s energy security and power our future.
CMEI aims to: Enable the American mineral, mining, and extractive industries to return to dominance and ensure a stable U.S. mineral/metal supply chain. Lead the world in metals, mining, materials science, magnets, batteries, and innovation through R&D at our National Lab, intergovernmental agencies, and collaboration with private-sector partners.
Drive growth, efficiency and innovation in U.S.-based manufacturing and the workforce-education programs necessary to meet today and tomorrow’s energy and manufacturing challenges. Steward federal resources to reduce the cost of energy for everyday Americans. Enable forums and resources to share energy innovations with industry, governments and everyday Americans.
Develop the systems and research needed for nationwide standards, certifications and validations for buildings, appliances, manufacturing, and energy efficiency. Maintain our position as the global leaders of next generation energy systems, vehicle technologies, fuels, chemicals and other materials needed for energy production on land, sea, air and space.
Critical Minerals, Materials, and Manufacturing The Office of Critical Minerals, Materials, and Manufacturing (CM3) will accelerate mining activities, diversify supply chains for critical minerals and metals, expand battery and magnet research, stimulate innovation in processing and metallurgy, and facilitate the recycling of black mass, battery materials, and other critical minerals.
The Office of Energy Technology (E-Tech) will continue to lead the world in research and development for cutting-edge energy and transportation technologies, fuels, chemicals, and hydropower. This office will also drive the commercialization and deployment of technologies that enhance energy networks across the United States and reduce the cost of energy for American ratepayers.
Innovation, Affordability, and Consumer Choice The Office of Innovation, Affordability, and Consumer Choice (IACC) will exercise DOE’s appliance standards and building codes authority, with an emphasis on fact-based analysis, process transparency, and consumer choice and affordability. The office also oversees and manages multiple state and community energy and weatherization programs.
This office will promote innovation and the adoption of new and beneficial technologies for buildings and industrial applications.

On August 24, 2026, DOE and SBA signed a memorandum of agreement creating the Small Business Investment Company-Energy Initiative, pointing a $58 billion SBA-leveraged investment program at DOE's technology priorities. No application, no NOFO, no deadline. Here is how SBIC capital actually works, why a January 2026 rule change made this possible, and what a company sitting on a DOE Phase II award should do about it.
Read articleOn May 19, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation announced 19 selections under FOA 3105 — two pilot-scale facilities for magnesium and rare-earth separation, and 17 technology development projects spanning lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, silicon, and manganese. Here is what the selection list tells researchers and small businesses about where DOE wants the supply chain in 18 months — and where the next solicitations will go.
Read articlePROSPECT, DE-FOA-0003662, puts up to $100 million into critical minerals education with no cost share and no eligibility restrictions. The arithmetic behind the two-year doubling target explains where the money actually has to go — and it is not mining engineering departments.
