Mines & Metals Capacity Expansion – Piloting Byproduct Critical Minerals and Materials Recovery at Domestic Industrial Facilities is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM). This program supports industries that have the potential to produce valuable mineral byproducts from existing industrial processes, such as mining and mineral processing, power generation, coal, oil and gas, specialty metals, and basic materials. It addresses technical barriers to commercial deployment of relevant technologies.
University Training and Research (UTR) Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM). This program supports early-stage research and development at eligible U.S. colleges and universities. It includes the University Carbon Research (UCR) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions (HBCU-MSI) sub-programs. The goal is to educate and train the next generation of engineers and scientists to advance integrated solutions for a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, focusing on fossil energy, carbon management, and critical minerals and materials programs.
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 articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
Read articleOn April 20, 2026, the White House declared grid, natural gas, LNG, petroleum, and coal 'essential to national defense,' unlocking DPA Title III loans, loan guarantees, and purchase commitments through DOE. Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
