Additional Information

Agency Name: Golden Field Office
Description: The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) has released Circularity for Secure and Sustainable Products and Materials: A Draft Strategic Framework. The focus of this document is addressing and overcoming the unique challenges related to recirculation of products and materials at the end-of-use (EOU) or end-of-life (EOL) back into the economy. This document aims to describe EERE’s economic and environmental impact goals related to increasing product and material circularity and to communicate EERE’s work in advancing the approaches, strategies, and technologies that contribute to achieving those goals. It identifies opportunities, challenges, and enablers for advancing circularity as well as providing an overview of current efforts across EERE. Finally, this document provides a framework for prioritization of EERE funded research and development as well as a vision for future EERE activities related to product and material circularity.

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related Circularity for Secure and Sustainable Products and Materials: A Draft Strategic Framework. This feedback will help to ensure EERE’s investments in this space are optimally positioned to address opportunities and challenges related to increasing circularity.

EERE is specifically interested in information on:

– Framework for prioritization of research and development as well as ways to maximize impact of the strategy
– Information related to significant opportunities, challenges, and enablers to increase product and material circularity
– Technology advancement needed to achieve EERE objectives
– Prioritization of future EERE investments

This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications.
