The U.S. Department of Energy’s Golden Field Office has announced the “Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) Fiscal Year 2024 Cross-Sector Technologies FOA” under funding opportunity number DE-FOA-0003206. This discretionary grant, part of the Conservation Research and Development program under CFDA number 81.086, is set to provide $38 million in funding. It is aimed at advancing transformational cross-sector technologies to reduce industrial energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through high-impact applied research, development, and demonstration projects.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focuses on three key topic areas: Electrification of Industrial Heat, Efficient Energy Use in Industrial Systems, and Decarbonizing Organic Wastewater and Wet Waste Treatment. The initiative aligns with the strategies identified in the DOE’s Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and supports the goals of the Industrial Heat Shot, aiming to put the nation on a pathway to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The grant is open to a wide range of eligible applicants, excluding Federal agencies and instrumentalities (other than DOE), State, local, and tribal government entities as prime recipients for Topics 1 and 2. For Topic 3, eligibility is restricted to waste facilities and qualified for-profit and non-profit entities. The closing date for applications is March 20, 2024. This FOA is part of DOE’s Technologies for Industrial Emissions Reduction Development (TIEReD) Program, which represents a significant step towards accelerating the development and adoption of industrial decarbonization technologies in the United States.

| Description: | Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) Fiscal Year 2024 Cross-Sector Technologies FOA This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) to advance transformational cross-sector technologies and innovations needed to reduce industrial energy use and GHG emissions through high-impact applied research, development, and pilot-scale technology validation and demonstration projects. The RD&D activities to be funded under this FOA will advance the strategies identified in DOE’s Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and will support the goals of the Industrial Heat Shot, ultimately helping put the nation on a pathway to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Topic Areas included in this FOA are: Topic Area 1: Electrification of Industrial Heat Topic Area 2: Efficient Energy Use in Industrial Systems Topic Area 3: Decarbonizing Organic Wastewater and Wet Waste Treatment IEDO expects additional funding opportunities to focus on transformational technologies to address subsector-specific challenges in energy- and emissions-intensive industries. This FOA is part of DOE’s Technologies for Industrial Emissions Reduction Development (TIEReD) Program. This program leverages resources across DOE’s applied research offices to invest in fundamental science, research, development, initial pilot-scale demonstrations projects, and technical assistance and workforce development. Rooted in the principles identified in the 2022 Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap, DOE is building an innovation pipeline to accelerate the development and adoption of industrial decarbonization technologies. The TIEReD Program leverages resources, expertise, and investments from the Offices of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), Nuclear Energy (NE), ARPA-E, and Science (SC) to achieve deep decarbonization across the U.S. industrial sector. The program complements the demonstration and large-scale deployment efforts led by DOE’s Offices of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) and the Loan Programs Office (LPO). |
