Number of Awards Anticipated: Multiple
Description
On October 14, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announced its intent to issue a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will drive innovation leading to economy-wide decarbonization, increased sustainability, and economic competitiveness. The "FY22 Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies—Building Technologies Office Multi-topic FOA" will support the Biden-Harris Administration’s priorities to invest in the next-generation materials and manufacturing technologies needed to support manufacturing competitiveness, tackle the climate crisis, and move the U.S. towards a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.
Topic Areas
The "FY22 Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies—Building Technologies Office Multi-topic FOA" is expected to include the following topics that will accelerate research and development (R&D) leading to the adoption of innovative materials and manufacturing technologies in support of a clean, decarbonized economy.
- Next Generation Materials and Manufacturing — This topic will focus on RD&D of novel materials with improved properties such as high-strength, high-temperature performance, and/or enhanced conductivity. Specific areas of interest include increased conductivity materials, harsh environment materials, and AI/machine learning for aerostructures.
- Secure and Sustainable Materials — This topic will focus on R&D of material and process innovation in support of secure and sustainable supply chains for a clean economy. A specific area of interest includes materials circularity regional pilot demonstrations with a focus on accelerating pilot-scale demonstrations of circular economy technologies such as innovative material recovery, end-of-life processing, and recycling for key regional material supply chains.
- Energy Technology Manufacturing and Workforce — This topic will focus on R&D of innovative manufacturing technologies to advance a clean energy economy. Specific areas of interest include building dehumidification scale-up and electric vehicle battery manufacturing to develop, scale-up, and pilot demonstrate chemistry-agnostic processing technologies to manufacture state-of-the-art cathode active materials (CAM) for current domestic manufacturing.
