Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations

OCED is a multi-technology office with demonstrations that include clean hydrogen, carbon management, advanced nuclear reactors, long-duration energy storage, industrial demonstrations, demonstrations in rural areas and on current and former mine land, and more. The Liftoff Enabling Programs support the replication, market liftoff, and deployment of OCED’s clean energy technologies.

The Advanced Nuclear projects will speed up the demonstration of advanced reactors through cost-shared partnerships with U.S. industry. These innovative nuclear technologies are ideally sized and designed to provide flexible electricity output and as process heat for a wide range of industrial heat applications as well as desalination and hydrogen production.

The Carbon Management portfolio contains three programs: the Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program, the Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Programs, and Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs. These new programs will help accelerate the demonstration and deployment of carbon management technologies, supporting efforts to create good-paying manufacturing jobs, reduce pollution to deliver healthier communities, and reinforce America’s global competitiveness in the clean energy technologies of the future.

The Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP) will accelerate projects in energy-intensive industries and provide American manufacturers a competitive advantage in the race to lead the world in low- and no carbon manufacturing. This program will be a central driver in helping solidify a “first-mover” advantage for U.S. industry, bolstering its competitiveness globally for decades into the future.

Industrial Demonstrations Program

The Renewables & Grid portfolio includes Distributed Energy Systems, Long-Duration Enery Storage, Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land, and Energy Improvement in Rural or Remote Areas.
