Energy Funding Matrix

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy ("EERE"), on behalf of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office intends to release a FOA supporting research, development, and demonstration ("RD&D") of affordable hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. It will focus on key hydrogen delivery and storage technologies as well as affordable and durable fuel cell technologies, particularly for heavy duty trucks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and eliminate pollution from the tailpipe. 

This FOA will provide up to $10 million to develop new analytical tools and approaches that will accelerate the reliable interconnection of renewable energy into the electrical grid. Specifically, the FOA seeks to fund application to address the challenges in the transmission system interconnection processes by creating software tools that can accurately simulate the effect of new clean energy plants on existing grid infrastructure, and by providing detailed, secure data to project developers.

The DOE Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) has issued this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to establish new Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) at community colleges, trade schools, and union training programs, as well as to create new Building Training and Assessment Centers (BTACs) at institutions of higher education, including Tribal colleges and universities. The new IACs will focus on high-quality skilled trades job pathways in fields such as industrial electrician, energy management, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing, while providing hands-on support to small and medium manufactures.

The Industrial Demonstrations Program will fund projects that focus on the highest emitting and hardest to abate industries where decarbonization technologies can have the greatest impact: iron and steel, cement and concrete, chemicals and refining, food and beverage, paper and forest products, aluminum, other energy-intensive manufacturing industries and cross-cutting technologies.

This grant program supports States in training and certifying contractors to assist in the completion of home energy retrofits, including those funded by the HOMES and HEEHRA rebates.

This FOA will fund research to drive innovation and reduce costs of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) voltage source converter (VSC) transmission systems, with $10 million in funding available.

This FOA supports accelerated and responsible development of offshore renewable energy by funding research to reduce risk and improve environmental compatibility of deployments in all regions of U.S. waters including the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico. This includes research into the integrity and monitoring of mooring lines for floating offshore wind energy systems and marine energy converters, as well as reducing or avoiding noise generation and propagation during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind foundations.

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office funds the manufacture of eligible light-duty vehicles and qualifying components under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program ("ATVM"). These applications are accepted on a rolling basis. ATVM has approximately $15.1 billion in loan guarantee authority. 

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has issued a solicitation under its Tribal Loan Guarantee authority ("TELGP") to issue direct loans and loan guarantees for certain eligible projects for energy development on Native lands, including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, energy storage, energy resource extraction, energy transportation facilities, heating and cooling facilities, cogeneration facilities, and distributed energy project portfolios

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has posted an Innovative Clean Fossil Solicitation under Title 17 to issue loan guarantees for certain eligible fossil fuel projects that reduce GHG emissions and are new technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell technology, carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, production facilities for the manufacture of fuel-efficient vehicles, pollution control equipment, energy storage technologies, and processes for reducing emissions for industrial applications such as iron, steel, cement, and ammonia production.
