Funding Notice: Regional Scale Collaboration to Facilitate a Domestic Critical Minerals Future: Carbon Ore, Rare Earth, and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative | Department of Energy Funding Notice: Regional Scale Collaboration to Facilitate a Domestic Critical Minerals Future: Carbon Ore, Rare Earth, and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative Office : Resource Sustainability FOA number : DE-FOA-0003077 Download the full funding opportunity : NETL eXCHANGE Funding Amount: $60 million On January 6, 2025 , the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced $45 million in federal funding for six projects to create regional consortia to accelerate the development of critical mineral and materials supply chains including novel nonfuel carbon-based products from secondary and unconventional feedstocks.
Realizing the value of secondary and unconventional feedstocks, such as coal and coal by-products, effluent waters from oil and gas development, and acid mine drainage will enable the United States to rebuild domestic supply chains for critical minerals and materials.
By focusing on abundant American secondary and unconventional sources, these investments will support dependable and enduring supplies for American manufacturing and production of technologies essential to clean energy and our nation’s defense.
Selected projects will build upon the work of DOE’s Carbon Ore, Rare Earth and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative , expanding the focus from the basin scale to cover eight regions across the Nation.
Teams consist of partners such as private industry; universities; local, state, and federal government; local communities; and Tribes and Tribal organizations who will develop and implement strategies that enable each U.S. region to realize its economic critical minerals and materials potential, including valuable non-fuel carbon-based products.

Critical Mineral Innovation, Efficiency, and Alternatives for a Strong Domestic Supply Chain is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) - Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM). This funding opportunity aims to support projects across the critical materials supply chain, from extraction, processing, refining, manufacturing, and recycling, as well as developing alternative materials with less supply vulnerability.
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 provides funding for industrial facilities that have the potential to produce valuable mineral byproducts from existing industrial operations. The focus is on critical minerals and materials, including rare earth elements, recovered from sources like coal waste tailings.
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.
