Inflation Reduction Act Technology Commercialization Fund (IRA TCF) - Collaborative Alignment for Critical Technology Industries

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions, in collaboration with the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, has released this Lab Call to support commercialization, demonstration, and deployment of decarbonization technologies in the chemicals, cement, and metals industries. With $15 million in available IRA funding, DOE aims to bring together stakeholders across the value chains of these industries to address technology adoption challenges and facilitate market adoption, scale-up, and consensus-building around low-carbon products. The focus is on industry alignment to accelerate commercial liftoff and ensure deep decarbonization. The program will establish three multi-lab consortia focusing on the chemicals and refining, concrete and cement, and metals industries. Each consortium will work collaboratively to address commercialization barriers, integrate low-carbon technologies, and support the adoption of assessment tools, product specifications, and best practices. Outputs will include technical reports, recommendations, databases, and action plans to support the demonstration and commercialization of industrial decarbonization technologies.
