| More than $43 Million in Projects To Drive Industrial Decarbonization Through Cross-Cutting Technologies | | Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced more than $43 million in selected projects to support the development of transformational technologies essential for reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across industrial subsectors. With 16 projects selected as part of a $38 million funding opportunity on cross-sector technologies and five projects selected in partnership with the Electrified Processes for Industry without Carbon (EPIXC) Institute, these investments will drive industrial emissions down while increasing America's manufacturing competitiveness in global markets. DOE's investments in cross-sector technologies address common decarbonization challenges across the U.S. industrial sector and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of specific subsectors. Selected projects will advance DOE's Industrial Heat Shot™, which aims to develop cost-competitive industrial heat decarbonization technologies with at least 85% lower greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. | | | Explore the Projects The 16 projects selected through the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office's (IEDO's) funding opportunity will advance research, development, and pilot-scale demonstrations of cross-sector process and equipment technologies with wide applicability and high emissions reduction potential. Topics were: - Electrification of Industrial Heat
- Efficient Energy Use in Industrial Systems
- Decarbonizing Organic Wastewater and Wet Waste Treatment.
The five projects selected in partnership with the EPIXC Institute will develop and scale innovative electric heating concepts for chemicals, steel, and cement manufacturing to reduce emissions, improve flexibility, and enhance the energy efficiency of industrial heating using cost-effective solutions. They will also address the challenge of integrating into existing facilities. | | | |
