The Advanced Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Grant Program is designed to provide grants to small- and medium-sized manufacturers to enable them to build new or retrofit existing manufacturing and industrial facilities in communities where coal mines or coal power plants have closed. These facilities will produce or recycle advanced energy products or contribute to emissions reductions within the manufacturing sector.

DOE has released a $425 million funding opportunity announcement for round 2 projects. This opportunity builds on a successful first round of investments in 2023, representing $275 million of federal investments across seven selected projects in seven states. Learn more about the seven projects selected for award negotiations.

In the second round, DOE will be prioritizing two investment areas of interest: (1) Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling and (2) Industrial Decarbonization.
