In March 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) opened applications for up to $6 billion in funding to implement the Industrial Demonstrations Program and accelerate decarbonization projects in energy-intensive industries and provide American manufacturers a competitive advantage in the emerging global clean energy economy.
The first stage of this funding application process required Concept Paper submittals that were due on April 21, 2023. OCED notified those who submitted Concept Papers in May or early June 2023 that they were either encouraged or discouraged from submitting a Full Application. Full Applications for the Industrial Demonstrations Program Funding Opportunity Announcement were due on August 11, 2023.
On March 25, 2024, OCED announced projects selected for award negotiations following a rigorous Merit Review process to identify meritorious applications to the Industrial Demonstrations Program based on the criteria listed in the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
