Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation. This program is designed to demonstrate full-scale integrated rare earth extraction and separation facilities in the United States.
It supports projects that demonstrate the commercial viability of recovering and refining rare earth elements (REEs) from unconventional feedstocks, including mine tailings, electronic waste, and other waste materials. The goal is to strengthen domestic rare earth supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign sources.

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 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 July 20, 2026, the EDA announced it intends to invest $169 million across six Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs — quantum, nuclear, critical minerals, biosecure manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and forest bioproducts — after the Trump administration rescinded the Biden-era Phase 2 awards and reran the competition. Only two of the original winners survived. Here is the full breakdown of the six hubs, why four prior awardees were dropped, and what the re-award teaches regional coalitions about competing for the next round.
