Funding Selections: Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) FY 2023 Phase I Release 2 FOA | Department of Energy Funding Selections: Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) FY 2023 Phase I Release 2 FOA On July 10, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $72 million in funding to support 296 projects in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program.
Industrial Technologies Office Office: Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office Available Funding: $1. 4 million FOA Number: DE-FOA-0002903 Through the SBIR and STTR programs, IEDO provides non-dilutive funding to small business research and development projects that improve energy efficiency. The seven projects will also have the opportunity to advance to Phase II based on their progress during Phase I.
Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization A topic focused on activities that address energy efficiency in energy-intensive industries and cross-sector industrial technologies.
Biodegradable PFAS-Free Paper and Molded Fiber Tableware for Food Packaging Awardee: Creekside Environmental Products Federal Funding: $200,000 Project Description: This project will develop a novel Metal-Cation-induced Surface Nano-Engineering (MX+-SNE) technology to manufacture polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-free water- and oil-resistant packaging paper and tableware.
If successful, this project could lead to a low-cost, biodegradable alternative to plastics and toxic PFAS-coated paper in the food packaging industry, creating fully recyclable packaging. The proposed project can potentially eliminate the use of PFAS in consumer food packaging, reducing the impact of consumer goods on the environment.
Additive HX for High Temperature Thermal Storage Awardee: Physical Sciences Inc. Federal Funding: $199,985 Project Description: This project will develop a heat exchanger technology for high temperature thermal energy storage (HTTS) that leverages additive manufacturing for fabrication of a customized device designed to simplify system integration while improving heat recovery and reuse cost effectiveness.
By simplifying system integration, this project hopes to accelerate the adoption of flexible and high temperature technologies that can displace the need for fossil fuel-based process heat.
Rapid, Low Cost and Room Temperature Manufacturing of Next-Gen Cementious Materials Full Title: Decarbonization of Building Materials: Rapid, Low Cost and Room Temperature Manufacturing of Next-Generation Cementitious Materials with ~97% Industrial Wastes Awardee: C-Crete Technologies Federal Funding: $200,000 Project Description: This project will demonstrate a universal approach to turn various industrial wastes (slag, ash, etc.) to cementitious binders.
Such an approach will utilize eco-friendly low-cost alternatives and industrial waste to produce materials that rival Ordinary Portland Cement in performance. This universal approach has the potential to produce multiple eco-friendly, low-carbon alternatives to carbon-intensive cement.
Efficient Zero-Carbon Ammonia Production Awardee: Skyhaven Systems, LLC Federal Funding: $206,500 Project Description: This project will develop and demonstrate a new microchannel electrochemical reactor to economically produce ammonia. Ammonia, a high volume energy-and emissions- intensive chemical, accounts for 1. 8% of global CO2 emissions.
The project will produce an electrochemical reactor that feeds water and nitrogen to a multitude of micro-channel cells to drive the reaction with clean energy. The reactor design will increase the production rate of ammonia by overcoming equilibrium limitations in ammonia synthesis, producing a more energy efficient process.
Strained Linear Ultra Molecular Weight Polyethylene Heat Exchanger Awardee: Mainstream Engineering Corporation Federal Funding: $199,807 Project Description: This project will demonstrate a polymer heat exchanger that has metal-like thermal conductivity using low-cost materials and conventional processing techniques to achieve a lighter, easier to install, and more cost-effective (45% reduction) unit than traditional metallic heat exchangers with similar performances.
Heat exchangers are a key thermal management tool within industry—more cost-effective, easier-to-install heat exchangers can enable more efficient industrial operations.
High-efficiency Continuous Electrolysis of Iron Ore for Carbon-Emission-Free Iron Production Awardee: Storagenergy Technologies, Inc. Federal Funding: $200,000 Project Description: This project will develop a novel electrolysis process, called Electrolysis of Fe Ore in Acidic Media (EFOAM), to continuously convert Fe ore (Fe oxide) to Fe metal and oxygen at low temperatures (25-90 C).
This project has the potential to electrify the iron and steel industry. Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer Recycling A joint topic with other EERE technology offices to develop innovative manufacturing of clean energy technologies, advance novel recycling processes for critical materials, and facilitate wide-spread adoption of hydrogen production and use.
Precious Metal Recovery and Recycling for Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers at End-of-Life Project Title: Precious Metal Recovery and Recycling for Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers at End-of-Life Federal Funding: $200,000 Project Description: This project will develop a novel process to remove and recover platinum group metals (PGMs) from assembled end-of-life fuel cells that do not leach hazardous fluorinated substances into the environment to obtain high-yield recovery platinum.
With a limited supply of PGMs, this project will support a more secure supply chain for key fuel cell technologies. Stay abreast of the latest developments from the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
Biofuel Feedstock Research and Development Grants (through IEDO) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). IEDO provides funding for the research, development, and demonstration of technologies that decrease air pollution in emissions-intensive industries, including projects that pursue advanced process technologies for converting feedstocks to biofuels.
Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence (Upcoming Lab Call) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). The DOE plans to create a Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence to accelerate the development and adoption of novel low-carbon cement and concrete technologies. This will involve collaboration across academia, national labs, government agencies, and corporations.
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.
