|
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) today formalized the realignment of a range of programs pertaining to critical minerals, manufacturing, federal codes and standards, and energy technology research and development. This realignment reflects the Trump Administration’s commitment to fortify America’s critical mineral supply chains to strengthen national security, promote affordability and consumer choice, and reestablish American leadership in energy innovation.
“Our new energy challenges demand a new orientation for the federal programs that are best positioned to meet them,” said Assistant Secretary of Energy (EERE) Audrey Robertson. “Under this realignment, the Department can more effectively direct its resources to meet an unprecedented surge in demand for energy and the critical minerals that underpin the modern economy.”
Effective immediately, CMEI will be divided into three pillars, each of which will be led by a corresponding Deputy Assistant Secretary.
