The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII) for DOE's third Manufacturing Innovation Institute under the Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative. The purpose of the Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative is to strengthen U.S. clean energy manufacturing competitiveness and to increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness across the board by boosting energy productivity and leveraging low-cost domestic energy resources as fuels and feedstocks. CESMII is funded under a Cooperative Agreement with the DOE and with participation from numerous sub-recipients, formally known as Regional Manufacturing Centers (RMC’s), but now transitioning to a distributed network of Smart Manufacturing Innovation Centers (SMICs). These SMICs would develop an integrated system of advanced sensors, controls, platforms, and modeling across a diverse portfolio to drive technology, manufacturing practice, and technical projects and services to achieve wide spread Smart Manufacturing and industry driven transformation.
