On May 20, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announced a $67 million funding opportunity to stimulate technology innovation, improve the energy productivity of American manufacturing, and enable the manufacturing of cutting-edge products in the United States. Projects selected under this funding opportunity announcement will aim to improve energy efficiency in energy-intensive processes and facilitate the transition to emerging, cost-competitive energy technologies in domestic production. EERE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office supports the development of technologies that improve energy efficiency in U.S. manufacturing as well as foundational, cross-cutting manufacturing processes, information, and materials technologies critical to efficient and competitive domestic manufacturing.

Subtopic 1.4 is Integrated Additive Manufacturing Processes for Advanced Wind Blade Production.

Concept papers are due June 25, 2020. View the Funding Opportunity Announcement, application, and submission requirements at EERE Exchange.
