Background Information

On July 21, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) and Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) announced over $5 million for four projects selected from the Base Annual Appropriations Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF). With this funding, industry and DOE National Laboratories will partner to advance lab-developed technologies toward commercialization in technology areas supported by FECM including carbon management, critical mineral production, and methane mitigation as part of DOE’s efforts to achieve a clean energy and industrial economy.

TCF aims to bolster America’s energy competitiveness and security by accelerating commercialization and shepherding critical energy technologies from the lab to the market, where the private sector will continue to innovate. 

Awardees

The $5 million in federal funding from FECM will catalyze over $2 million in cost-share from private sector, academic, and industry stakeholders. Projects will develop tools and technologies to support forest-based carbon dioxide removal, improve our ability to measure soil carbon in agriculture fields, enable near real-time detection of rare earth elements, and create miniaturized methane monitoring systems.

Awardees include:

• Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
• National Energy Technology Laboratory
• Sandia National Laboratories

A detailed list of the selected projects can be found here.
