On 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.
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 articleThe Energy Department's flagship Early Career Research Program is funded at $145M for FY2026 — $79M in current-year dollars, the rest contingent on FY27 appropriations. Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
