Cooperative Agreement DEMS0000148

This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253), will provide $8,083,327 to the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency to expand battery recycling services in the DMASWA area. The project will establish a dedicated Customer Convenience Center with space for battery collection, processing, and education, increasing access and safety for battery recycling. This aligns with the federal grant program's focus on strengthening domestic manufacturing and supply chains for clean energy technologies, including recycling infrastructure, to support the nation's transition to a decarbonized energy system.
