DOE Seeks Input to Dramatically Increase Energy Efficiency of Semiconductor Applications | Department of Energy DOE Seeks Input to Dramatically Increase Energy Efficiency of Semiconductor Applications Information will help inform the EES2 Initiative and associated roadmap.
Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office NOTE : The EES2 Roadmap is one of several new draft strategies and roadmaps that will be issued by AMMTO in the coming months. To facilitate engagement across AMMTO’s broader portfolio and provide additional opportunities for our broad stakeholder group, AMMTO is reissuing this RFI and will keep it open through December 16 .
This new deadline will be consistent across all pending RFIs that will accompany the new draft strategies and roadmaps. Draft EES2 Research and Development Roadmap Is Now Available! Feedback on the initial drafted version (1.
0) of this roadmap that accompanies this RFI is of specific interest. Read the full draft roadmap here. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) released a request for information (RFI) to solicit feedback from stakeholders on the Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades (EES2) Initiative and the draft EES2 Research and Development (R&D) Roadmap that accompanies this RFI.
The roadmap outlines the technology R&D needed to increase the energy efficiency of semiconductor applications 1,000-fold over the next twenty years. Semiconductive materials, such as silicon, are used to construct vital components of industrial-scale data centers, smartphones, computers, solar cells, electric vehicles, and many other products that millions of Americans use daily.
Over the last 30 years, energy efficiency improvements in the products made by the semiconductor industry have fallen out of pace with the surging global demand for computing and artificial intelligence technologies. Since 2010, overall semiconductor application energy use has doubled every three years, and by 2030, if this rate of increase continues, the semiconductor industry could consume nearly 20% of global energy production.
The EES2 National Initiative aims to put the semiconductor industry back on the path of doubling energy efficiency every two years to increase the economic competitiveness of American microelectronics manufacturers and to strengthen domestic renewable energy supply chains.
AMMTO seeks input from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to energy efficiency in the semiconductor industry, particularly for computing applications. Feedback on the initial version (1. 0) of the roadmap that accompanies this RFI is of specific interest.
With this RFI, AMMTO seeks input on the following three categories: EES2 initiative goals and objectives Process and future steps.
Feedback will also be essential to the EES2 Initiative, which not only aims to enhance the semiconductor industry and its products’ energy efficiency, but also aims to fast-track the application of these technologies across different sectors and ensure rapid adaptation to ever-evolving market and environmental demands. Responses to the RFI must be submitted electronically to micro. electronics@ee.

On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleThe Labor Department's RESTART grants closed April 15, but the $81 million program is a map, not just a deadline. Up to 20 awards, $5.1M ceilings, and a priority list — AI infrastructure, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, domestic minerals — that signals the shape of the next workforce funding cycle. Here is how to read it and position for what comes next.
