Industrial Water Reuse Request for Proposals (RFP): NAWI-4-2026 is sponsored by National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI) / U.S. Department of Energy.
This RFP seeks proposals for pilots and demonstrations of onsite solutions for treating and reusing water within a specific unit process, treating wastewater from one process for use in other processes (with an emphasis on leveraging advanced treatment technologies to “upgrade” water quality), or utilizing “nuisance water” or wastewater from one facility for high-value applications in an adjoining facility.
It targets high-priority, non-traditional water sources at U.S. industrial sites, including cooling water, process and rinse water, and wastewater treatment effluent. Produced water treatment desalination aligns well with upgrading water quality from non-traditional sources.

Three topics fund enhanced recovery and fracture diagnostics; one funds produced water treatment — the smallest pot at $24 million, and the one with the least crowded applicant field. Here is the full topic breakdown, the TRL 5-to-7 bar that disqualifies most lab-stage teams, the 20 percent cost share math, and why a companion $65.5 million NOFO closing September 22 changes how you should sequence two applications.
