The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced approximately $6 billion in funding to accelerate decarbonization projects in the energy-intensive industrial sector.
The industrial sector’s emissions result not just from fuel for heat and power, but also from feedstocks and processes that are inherently carbon intensive. The sector contributes nearly one-third of the nation’s carbon emissions.
The Industrial Demonstrations Program is expected to focus on the highest-emitting industries where decarbonization technologies will have the greatest impact, such as iron and steel, aluminum, cement and concrete, and other energy-intensive industrial processes
