The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $425 million funding program aimed at reducing industrial emissions and advancing clean energy manufacturing essential to the U.S. energy supply chain. The program, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and managed by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), will support small and medium-sized manufacturers in current and former coal communities. The aim is to focus on producing and recycling clean energy products, as well as investing in decarbonization at their facilities. The program is part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda and aims to strengthen America’s energy security, create jobs, cut climate pollution, and ensure that the communities that powered our nation for generations reap the economic benefits of the clean economy.
