American Manufacturing

How are we making this possible? Through DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains, Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office, and the Loan Programs Office, DOE is: 

• Deploying a combination loans, tax credits, rebates, and grants to shore up manufacturing capabilities through various key sectors. 
   
• Providing access to smart manufacturing tools and resources to help small and medium-sized domestic manufacturers secure and improve their operations and efficiency.  
   
• Employing the Domestic Production Act as a tool to accelerate domestic manufacturing and deployment of key energy technologies as a way to bolster national security, starting with the acceleration of domestic Heat Pump and heat pump component manufacturing nationwide.  
   
• Targeting investments to help spur investments this decade to set the nation on a course to a modernized and upgraded energy system that leads the world.  
   
• Securing and sustaining American clean energy supply chains by diversifying and expanding the supply of critical materials, developing alternatives and substitutes to those materials, and keeping those materials in the supply chain. 
   
• Prioritizing materials and products circularity through re-use, recycling, and re-manufacturing to reduce environmental impacts and secure manufacturing supply chains while uplifting communities and create high-paying jobs. 
   
• Building our nation’s capabilities and capacity to manufacture current and next generation energy technologies by investing in entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized manufacturers.  

Through government-enabled and private-led funding opportunities, we're investing in domestic manufacturing to secure the nation’s energy infrastructure and eliminate supply chain vulnerabilities. We know every dollar we spend must catalyze many times that in private sector investment.   

To help facilitate, expedite, and streamline the non-federal funding required by companies to finance their projects, DOE launched the Manufacturing Capital Connector platform to connect companies applying to DOE-administered manufacturing programs, like the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C) Program, to a range of capital providers seeking high-quality projects. 

These investments, which complement the extraordinary funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and enable DOE to more fully unleash the benefits of the new programs, will create good-paying jobs while driving progress toward the Administration’s goals. 

Nearly 16 million jobs have been created since 2021 and hundreds of thousands of those jobs are in clean energy manufacturing. From heavy equipment operators to autoworkers to pipe fitters to linemen, hard-working Americans are powering this country and supporting their families with good-paying, quality jobs. 

Using market, economic and supply chain security-related technical analysis, we’re collaborating with experts through our Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains Office to identify gaps and growth opportunities across the nation's energy supply chains, from raw materials, to processing and manufacturing. These analyses inform investment and program implementation.   

 We are building a secure energy economy that works for all communities by: 

• Ensuring benefits flow to communities at risk of being left behind, from today’s energy-producing communities as they face a major energy transition to communities that have too often borne the downsides of past energy systems without sharing in the economic upsides. 
   
• Creating high-quality, accessible, and career-track jobs with fair wages and benefits and the free and fair choice to collectively bargain and join a union. 

DOE is strengthening solutions for an affordable, reliable, resilient, and secure energy system across America. Together, we're getting the job done and making real world impact by prioritizing our domestic manufacturing needs and restoring U.S. manufacturing growth and global competitiveness across a range of technologies.
