Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) Fiscal Year 2024 Cross-Sector Technologies FOA
Funding Agency:
- Department of Energy
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). IEDO provides funding, management, and the strategic direction necessary for a balanced national program of research, development, and demonstration (RD&D), as well as technical assistance and workforce development, to drive improvements in energy, materials, and production efficiency and to accelerate decarbonization across the industrial sector. IEDO and its programs are critical to putting the nation on a pathway to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.1
Building a clean and equitable energy economy and addressing the climate crisis is a top priority of the Biden Administration. This FOA will advance the Biden Administration’s goals to “deliver an equitable, clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050“2 to the benefit of all Americans. The Department of Energy is committed to pushing the frontiers of science and engineering, catalyzing clean energy jobs through research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D), and ensuring environmental justice and inclusion of underserved communities.
Decarbonizing the industrial sector is critical to achieving net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050, as well as to advancing energy and environmental justice. In 2020, industry accounted for 33% of the nation’s primary energy use and 30% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.3 In addition, industrial facilities produce air pollutants—primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels—with harmful impacts on respiratory and cardiovascular health, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM). In the United States, disadvantaged communities are disproportionately exposed to these pollutants, resulting in social, economic, and health burdens beyond those of the general population. Addressing pollution from industrial energy use to remediate these burdens is an integral step toward achieving environmental justice.
