U.S. Department of Energy Issues Comprehensive Plan to Strengthen America’s Clean Energy Supply Chains and Bolster Domestic Manufacturing
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) released seven deep-dive assessments of clean energy manufacturing supply chains, reviewing the obstacles to a reliable supply of key materials and components and opportunities for improvement.
