Opportunity Title:
Critical Material Innovation, Efficiency, and Alternatives
Funder/Agency:
DOE; under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-0003105
Description:
DOE is working to develop reliable, resilient, affordable, diverse, sustainable, and
secure domestic critical mineral and materials supply chains. DOE’s primary
science and technology pillars in this space are to diversify and expand supply,
develop alternatives (materials and manufactured products), improve
efficiencies along the supply chain, and enable a circular economy for critical
materials that includes recycling and waste minimization.
This funding opportunity builds on a number of related CMM funding
opportunities through DOE. With the BIL, the Office of Manufacturing and
Energy Supply Chains (MESC) has funded nearly $2.8B worth of demonstration
and commercial scale facilities for battery materials processing and
manufacturing. And FECM has initiated Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
studies for a Rare Earth Element (REE) Demonstration using mine wastes as
feedstocks.
Eligibility:
Domestic entities:
Institutions of higher education;
For-profit entities;
Nonprofit entities; and
State and local governmental entities and Tribes
In limited circumstances, DOE may approve a waiver to allow a foreign entity to
participate as a prime recipient or subrecipient.
