New Fact Sheets Highlighting EERE’s FY 2022 Budget Request
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) submitted to Congress on March 28, 2021 the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY 2022) Budget Request. As the Biden-Harris Administration continues to make progress defeating the pandemic and getting our economy back on track, the DOE Budget makes historic investments that will help the country build back better and lay the foundation to build a clean energy economy and ensure the U.S. reaches net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The mission of DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is to accelerate the research, development, demonstration, and deployment of technologies and solutions to equitably transition America to net-zero GHG emissions economy-wide no later than 2050, creating good paying jobs, and ensuring the clean energy economy benefits all Americans—especially workers and communities impacted by the energy transition and those historically underserved by the energy system and overburdened by pollution.
To accomplish this once-in-a-generation mission, EERE has requested $4.73 billion for activities and programs that will accelerate efforts to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint in the electricity, transportation, industrial, buildings, and agriculture sectors.

EERE is also pleased to offer six new fact sheets that highlight EERE’s FY 2022 budget request and detail the programs and activities that will support EERE’s five decarbonization goals:
In addition to these five decarbonization goals, EERE has identified four principles to help guide its investments: energy justice, workforce development, diversity in STEM, and engagement with state and local governments.
EERE hosted four budget webinars in June. The recorded webinars and associated presentation materials are available here: Budget Office | Department of Energy
