Energy Funding Matrix

Unleashing American energy has become a key focus of the current administration. Meanwhile, some opportunities from earlier pieces of legislation, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which created dozens of grant, loan and financing programs for renewable energies, are still available. These opportunities were sourced across agencies and collected in a central location to ensure you find the relevant grant, loan, or financing program that fits your organization’s energy goals. MLS and Mintz have developed a funding matrix that serves as an aggregate resource to help you leverage federal dollars in your energy efforts. This matrix is updated on a bi-weekly basis.

FOA fixed deadline Electronics Scrap Recycling Advancement Prize American-Made Program Clean Energy, Critical Minerals, Manufacturing

This is a prize, not a grant. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) is launching the American-Made Electronics Scrap Recycling Advancement Prize (ESCRAP) $3.95 million in prizes, this three-phase prize is designed to stimulate innovative approaches that reduce the costs and environmental impact of critical material recovery from electronics scrap (e-scrap). Competitors will optimize, validate, and integrate new and improved approaches along the entire recycling value chain to increase the production and use of recovered critical materials. Competitors can win up to $800,000 in cash and $150,000 in national laboratory analysis support. This prize focuses on innovative approaches, processes, or technologies in service of optimizing and implementing critical material separation and recovery from e-scrap.  The deadline for submission for Phase 2 has passed, but Phase 3 will open up on November 12, 2025.
 
Notice of Intent Smart Manufacturing Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office Clean Energy, Manufacturing

This anticipated FOA will support the research, development and demonstration (RD&D) of smart manufacturing technologies that can contribute to a resilient, responsive, leading-edge and efficient manufacturing sector that delivers the technologies needed for the nation’s clean energy transition. EERE planned to issue the FOA in June 2024, but no FOA has been released yet.
