Description
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Transforming Industry: Strategies for Decarbonization." The purpose of this RFI is to gather information to support a new DOE vision study, Pathways for U.S. Industrial Transformations: Unlocking American Innovation. This study aims to identify cost-effective and industry-specific strategic pathways to achieve a thriving U.S. industrial sector with net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
The RFI seeks input across four key 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
- Category 4: Net-zero Decarbonization Pathways for Specific Industrial Subsectors
The focus is on technological, financial, social, environmental, and health aspects related to the challenges, barriers, opportunities, and pathways for achieving net-zero emissions in the industrial sector by 2050.
IEDO encourages responses from a diverse range of stakeholders integral to the transformation of U.S. industry, including but not limited to:
- Industrial companies and associated communities
- Utilities and low-carbon fuel suppliers
- Technology developers and engineering consultants
- Firms designing new industrial facilities
- Local and regional governments
This RFI is intended solely to collect information and is not a funding opportunity announcement (FOA). No applications or proposals for funding will be accepted.
