This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). The intent of this RFI is to obtain information to inform a new DOE vision study, Pathways for U.S. Industrial Transformations: Unlocking American Innovation, which is identifying cost-effective and industry-specific strategic pathways to achieve a thriving U.S. industrial sector with net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. This RFI seeks input on four categories: Category 1: Industrial Decarbonization Challenges, Barriers, and Cross-Cutting Strategies; Category 2: Framework for Industrial Decarbonization Pathways; Category 3: Impacts and Evaluation Criteria for Industrial Decarbonization Pathways; and Category 4: Net-zero Decarbonization Pathways for Specific Industrial Subsectors. This RFI is focused on input on industrial technological, financial, social, environmental, and health aspects as they pertains to the challenges, barriers, opportunities, and pathways to achieve net-zero emissions from the industrial sector by 2050. IEDO seeks input from a diverse group of stakeholders (both within and outside of industry) who will be integral to the transformation of U.S. industry, including associated communities, utilities, low-carbon fuels suppliers, technology developers, engineering consultants, firms designing new facilities, local and regional governments, and more. Responses should be submitted electronically to [email protected]. Include Transforming Industry RFI in the subject line of the email. Only electronic responses will be accepted and must be received by 5:00pm (ET) on June 10, 2024. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications.

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled Oceans of Opportunity: U.S. Wave Energy Open Water Testing. This FOA supports WPTOs efforts to advance the commercial readiness of wave energy technologies through open water testing and system validation at multiple scales, serving the broader goals of the Biden administration to achieve carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and to deliver an equitable, clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050 to the benefit of all Americans. Topic Area 1 leverages wave energy technologies that provide power to distributed blue economy applications. Topic Area 2 aims to develop functional wave energy technologies for coastal and island stakeholders (may or may not be grid-connected). Topic Area 3 allows for maturing grid connected technologies that demonstrate reliable power generation direct to a utility. This notice of intent (NOI) is issued so that interested parties are aware of EEREs intention to issue this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this NOI. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will provide an avenue for potential applicants to submit questions. Complete information, including the full Notice of Intent, can be found on the EERE Exchange website: https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/
