## What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), and the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) seeks stakeholder input to refine the scope of a potential new Clean Energy Manufacturing Institute. This Institute will focus on reducing the overall emissions of domestic manufacturing through carbon intensity improvements, moving the Industrial Sector towards the goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This request for information (RFI) is specifically focused on understanding the challenges, opportunities and benefits of industrial decarbonization associated with: Electrification of Industrial Process, including technologies for electrification of manufacturing process, materials for more effective/efficient electrification, scale-up and design for integration into manufacturing processes, and life cycle assessment tools and methodologies. Decarbonization of Metals Manufacturing, including technical solutions in metallic manufacturing, improved alloy material performance and acceleration of adopting developed technologies. This information will inform DOE’s consideration of a potential funding opportunity to establish DOE’s seventh Clean Energy Manufacturing Institute. Clean Energy Manufacturing Institutes are public-private partnerships that sponsor research and facilitate technology development in a given topic area. EERE is interested in responses from all stakeholders, including representatives of state and cities, academia, national laboratories, non-governmental organizations, interest groups, private sector, and more. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. EERE will not pay for information provided under this RFI and no project will be supported as a result of this RFI. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance or financial incentives. EERE may or may not issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) based on consideration of the input received from this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to Decarb-Institute@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on September 7, 2021. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery.
