The announcement includes multiple projects funded collaboratively across three DOE offices, including the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, to develop transformational energy technologies across America's most critical industrial subsectors.
This week, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) announced more than $136 million for 66 selected projects to support the research and development of transformational technologies essential for reducing energy demand and improving American productivity in key industrial subsectors. These investments will accelerate the development of innovative technologies to ensure the resilience and competitiveness of U.S. industrial supply chains in rapidly changing global markets.
Selected projects will advance technology solutions for core portions of our nation’s industrial base, including the manufacturing of chemicals and fuels, iron and steel, cement and concrete, forest and paper products, food and beverages, glass, and other industries. Together, these industries account for over 75% of the U.S. industrial energy demand, employ roughly 13 million Americans, and contribute roughly $27 trillion to U.S. GDP.

The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) and the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management joined IEDO to provide funding for projects under Topic 6: Industrial Pre-FEED Studies. Pre-FEED (preliminary front-end engineering design) refers to a stage of project development—after basic feasibility study and conceptual design—that develops the initial concept into a detailed design basis and scope of work to ensure a project is economically and technically feasible as well as accurately estimated. This topic seeks to reduce barriers for accelerated industrial adoption by de-risking innovative decarbonization technologies within operational environments.
HFTO has provided $4.3 million to fund the following projects:
PROJECT LEAD | TITLE | FEDERAL FUNDING |
---|---|---|
Rayonier Advanced Materials | Improving efficiency and accelerating decarbonization in the pulp and paper and aviation industries via an integrated process | $1.5 million |
Avangrid Renewables | Transforming the U.S. industrial sector with sustainable methanol production | $1.5 million |
University of Minnesota Duluth | Integrating an electrolytic hydrogen-based iron plant to support the green steel supply chain | $1.3 million |
