The Energy Department Awards Funding for Next Generation Electric Machines for Manufacturing
The Energy Department is awarding $22 million in funding for five projects aimed at merging wide-bandgap (WBG) technology with advancements for large-scale motors to increase energy efficiency in high-energy consuming industries, products, and processes.
Funding Opportunity: Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute
The Department of Energy announced up to $70 million in funding for the next Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute, which will be focused on smart manufacturing. With this investment, the Department aims to support research and development advancements that can reduce the cost of deployment for technologies such as advanced sensors, controls, platforms, and modeling for manufacturing by as much as 50 percent.
VP Biden Lauds Composite Institute’s Detroit Impact
The facility will support production-scale composite materials development focused on vehicle light weighting in collaboration with automotive companies. The scale-up facility is part of the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI), a national institute announced by President Obama with Vice President Biden in January as part of the president’s National Network for Manufacturing.
