Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002935
This Notice of Intent describes the Department of Energy's plan to release a forthcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focused on moving industrial decarbonization solutions from demonstration toward broader deployment. The effort is being led by DOE's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) in collaboration with the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). The central aim is to fund large, high-impact projects that can materially cut greenhouse gas emissions in major industrial subsectors, while also proving that the underlying technologies and integrated systems work reliably at scale and make business sense in real-world operating conditions. In other words, the program is meant to bridge the gap between promising decarbonization concepts and the kind of commercial confidence needed for widespread adoption across industry.
The projects envisioned are described as "high-impact, large-scale, transformational," which signals an emphasis on big emissions reductions, strong technical ambition, and solutions that could be replicated beyond a single facility. OCED indicates it is looking for work that meaningfully reduces emissions from high-emitting industrial segments, with the broader goal of building evidence for both technical viability (the technology performs as intended at industrial scale) and commercial viability (it can compete, be financed, and be adopted under realistic market and operational constraints). The FOA is framed as supporting integrated solutions, not just standalone components, which typically means applicants may be expected to demonstrate how multiple technologies or strategies work together in an operating industrial environment.
DOE highlights several cross-cutting decarbonization pathways it expects to support. These include energy efficiency improvements, industrial electrification, and the use of low-carbon fuels, feedstocks, and energy sources. It also includes carbon capture and utilization approaches for emissions that are difficult to eliminate through other means, acknowledging that certain industrial processes have "hard-to-abate" emissions where capture, use, or related management options may be among the few practical routes to deep reductions. The overall approach is described as aligning with, but not limited to, DOE's Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap, which implies that solutions consistent with that roadmap are relevant, but the program may also consider other compelling strategies that achieve the same objectives.
From a funding mechanics standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is expected to use cooperative agreements, which generally means DOE will likely have substantial involvement during project execution (for example, through negotiated milestones, reporting requirements, and active program management). The listing references CFDA number 81.255 and identifies the agency as the Department of Energy, Headquarters. The source information also notes an award ceiling of up to $500,000,000 and an expected number of awards of about 85, indicating DOE anticipated supporting a sizable portfolio of projects with potentially very large individual award sizes, depending on how the final FOA is structured.
Because this is a Notice of Intent rather than the FOA itself, DOE emphasizes that the information is preliminary and subject to change as the FOA is developed. Interested parties are essentially being given an early heads-up so they can begin considering potential project concepts, partnerships, sites, and financing approaches ahead of the formal release. DOE also states it will not accept questions at this NOI stage; instructions for submitting questions and comments will be provided once the FOA is officially issued. The notice directs readers to the OCED Exchange website (https://oced-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx) as the place to find the full NOI and, later, the full funding announcement and official submission details.Apply for DE FOA 0002935
