The DOE plans to invest up to $100 million in the PROSPECT Program to boost specialized education and workforce development in critical minerals and materials through academic, industry, and national lab collaboration.
This grant supports research and pre-pilot testing of new chemical technologies that use alternative and waste feedstocks, aiming to advance them toward commercial scale in the U.S. energy and manufacturing sectors.
Planned funding would support alternative chemicals, fuels, and feedstocks using domestic biomass, refineries, and pipelines, including hydrogen-natural gas pilots; applications are not yet requested.
