DOE Previews $1 Billion in Forthcoming Funding Opportunities for Critical Minerals Projects and Technologies?

DOE has announced plans to issue NOFOs totaling about $1 billion to support projects across multiple stages of the critical minerals value chain.
Funding is expected to support a wide range of focus areas from innovative extraction, separation and processing technologies to pilot facilities to demonstrate critical mineral, rare earth, and byproduct production from unconventional sources and industrial facilities and commercialization and deployment of projects in the battery supply chain.
Companies considering applying for funding should prepare for requirements around Foreign Entity of Concern restrictions, cost-share obligations and demonstration of clear commercialization pathways.
