The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) today awarded $117 million to 56 projects that will strengthen the competitiveness of key American industries through energy and cost-saving innovations.
The selected projects will accelerate the development and adoption of technologies across critical industrial sectors. These investments will help American manufacturers produce essential commodities more efficiently and cost-effectively while strengthening the domestic supply chains that underpin the nation’s economic security. The selections advance President Trump’s agenda to restore American industrial strength.
“DOE is committed to funding innovation that positions American industry at the forefront of the global marketplace,” said Assistant Secretary of Energy Audrey Robertson. “These projects will deliver affordable, market-ready solutions that strengthen America’s energy security and support job creation and economic growth nationwide.”
Advances in industrial technologies can deliver lasting benefits by lowering production costs, improving energy productivity, and bringing industrial innovation back to the United States. Selected projects will also help reduce the need for costly wastewater-treatment processes and high-temperature heating across a range of manufacturing processes.
