## What the grant funds

The global effort to reduce carbon emissions is accelerating demand for clean energy technologies and the materials they rely on. The United States seeks to strengthen domestic supply of materials that are essential to a decarbonized energy infrastructure. Projects funded under this FOA will prototype and mature technologies or processes that address critical material challenges in high impact areas. By accelerating innovative critical material manufacturing technologies, the U.S. positions itself at the forefront of clean energy production while securing a reliable domestic critical material supply chain needed to enable a clean energy future. This effort not only promotes secure and sustainable practices but also creates valuable American manufacturing jobs. It further supports communities with mining and energy backgrounds while establishing responsible and ethical networks for critical material supply. The goals of this FOA are to: Foster industry partnerships to prototype and pilot technologies and processes proven at the bench scale to accelerate innovative solutions to address critical material challenges in high impact areas; Validate the materials and manufacturing technologies that reduce demand or extend the lifetime of critical materials through performance testing and modeling; Enable informed decisions, optimize processes, and build confidence in technology scale up through life-cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis; Address the urgency to meet critical material demand with secure and sustainable critical material manufacturing technologies.
