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.
| Opportunity Type | Opportunity | Federal Office | Technologies | Description | Submission Deadline | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOA fixed deadline | BIL FOA 2966: Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovati… | Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management | Carbon Capture | This funding opportunity makes up to $500 million available for projects that will help expand carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation infrastructure across the United States. Accelerating the development and deployment of carbon management technology to capture CO2 emissions from industrial operations and power generation, as well as directly from the atmosphere, requires a safe and reliable system that can transport the captured CO2, either for permanent geologic storage or for conversion to useful, durable products. |

| Notice of Intent | Mixed Algae Conversion Research Opportunity (MACRO) | Bioenergy Technology Office | Biofuels, Conservation, and Wastewater, Carbon Capture, Clean Energy | If issued, this FOA will support BETO’s research and development (R&D) priorities in the Conversion Technologies Program and FECM’s R&D priorities in the Carbon Dioxide Conversion Program. BETO’s Conversion Technologies Program supports R&D in technologies for converting biomass feedstocks into finished liquid transportation fuels—such as renewable gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel along with co-products or chemical intermediates. FECM’s Carbon Dioxide Conversion Program invests in R&D of technologies that convert captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into economically valuable products such as chemicals, fuels, building materials, plastics, and bioproducts. EERE planned to issue the FOA in March 2024, but no FOA has been released yet. |
