Purpose
The purpose of this FOA is to create a new Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute that will accelerate decarbonization of the industrial sector by developing and scaling electrified industrial heating processes. A consortium made up of industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, national labs, and other stakeholders is sought to: develop electrified process heating solutions for industry; create modeling and optimization tools to facilitate integration of electrified processes into manufacturing plants; develop technology evaluation tools and methodologies; and educate and develop the manufacturing workforce needed to implement this technology. Visit the ‘Link to Award’ for more.
Cost Share: The cost share must be at least 50% of the total allowable costs for the Institute (i.e., the sum of the government share, including FFRDC costs if applicable, and the recipient share of allowable costs equals the total allowable cost of the project) and must come from non-federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law. Per 15 U.S.C. 278s(e)(7), DOE may consider waiving cost share requirements for certain activities. However, for the purpose of the full application, cost share must be proposed to meet the 50% requirement.
Note: The applicant should only include cost share that it can commit to over the course of the award.
