About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Lab is seeking applications for projects that develop domestic facilities for battery materials processing, manufacturing, and recycling under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Section 40207 program. Applicants must propose projects that strengthen critical domestic manufacturing and supply chains while increasing critical minerals production by up to 15% by 2030 for key battery materials. The evaluation criteria will include an objective merit review based on evaluation criteria set forth in the competitive solicitation, with all criteria and processes detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Applications must be submitted as cooperative agreements, and all applications passing initial review will receive objective merit evaluation. The proposal due date is April 24, 2026, and interested applicants should consult the full NOFO published in Infrastructure eXCHANGE for complete details and any question submission deadlines.
This opportunity is administered under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253), which typically awards project grants and cooperative agreements ranging from $2.6 million to $1.4 billion. Award periods generally span 12 to 36 months, supporting projects focused on converting existing manufacturing facilities, establishing domestic battery material production capabilities, and creating recycling infrastructure. Performance locations are expected to be at manufacturing facilities across the United States, with particular emphasis on states such as Michigan, Texas, South Carolina, and Louisiana. Organizations seeking federal audit requirements should note that nonfederal entities expending $1,000,000 or more in federal awards must undergo a single or program-specific audit, in accordance with 2 CFR 200 and DOE Financial Assistance Regulations.
Synopsis
The Manufacturing Deployment Office (MDO) is issuing this NOFO to request applications for projects which will develop domestic facilities toward battery materials processing, manufacturing, and recycling. The goals of this program are to strengthen critical domestic manufacturing and supply chains while increasing critical minerals production by up to 15% by 2030 for key critical materials used in batteries and other applications.
