The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) today selected 17 U.S. National Laboratory projects for $29.5 million in funding to accelerate the development of innovative technologies that expand and improve America’s domestic mining capabilities. In accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order, Unleashing American Energy, these projects will reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, bolster national security, and advance the technologies that will establish America’s long‑term energy independence.
“Today’s investment is about unleashing the full innovative power of our National Laboratories,” said Assistant Secretary of Energy Audrey Robertson. “These projects will advance President Trump’s effort to strengthen domestic mining, protect our supply chains, and ensure the United States leads the world in critical mineral technologies.”
