Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Funding Opportunity Announcement | Department of Energy Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Funding Opportunity Announcement Office: Advanced Manufacturing Office Funding Number : DE-FOA-0002804 Funding Amount: Up to $104 million Number of Awards Anticipated: Multiple On September 7, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the “Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization FOA”—a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will support DOE’s efforts to decarbonize the U.S. industrial sector and move the U.S. towards a net-zero economy by 2050.
This $104 million funding opportunity advances decarbonization technologies that will reduce the carbon footprint of the industrial sector. Projects funded under the FOA will drive the transformational technology and innovation necessary to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
Industrial Decarbonization The “Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization FOA” incorporates the topics and recommendations identified in the “Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap,” applying the four industrial decarbonization pathways to energy-intensive industries where decarbonization technologies could have the greatest impact.
Decarbonizing Chemicals – This topic will focus on unit operations, including advanced separations and advanced reactors, and alternative production and process heating technologies to reduce carbon impacts from the production of high-volume chemicals.
Decarbonizing Iron and Steel – This topic will focus on advancements that enable decarbonization in ore-based or scrap-based iron and steelmaking operations, and that convert other existing iron and steelmaking ancillary and thermal processes to use clean fuels or electricity.
Decarbonizing Food and Beverage Products – This topic will focus on innovative technologies that decarbonize process heating operations within the food and beverage sector. Decarbonizing Cement and Concrete – This topic will focus on next generation cement formulations and process routes, utilization of low carbon fuels, and carbon capture technologies.
Decarbonizing Paper and Forest Products – This topic will focus on novel paper and wood drying technologies, and innovative pulping and paper forming technologies. Cross-sector Decarbonization Technologies – This topic will focus on innovations in low temperature waste heat to power, thermal energy storage, and industrial heat pump technologies.

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 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 articleOn September 21, 2026 DOE selected 21 projects under DE-FOA-0003472 — five EGS field tests and 16 exploration wells — for up to $99 million of a $171.5 million authorization. The solicitation is structured to reopen for up to 72 months on roughly annual cycles. Here is how to position for the next one.
