The purpose of this FOA is to create a new Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute that will accelerate decarbonization of the industrial sector by developing and scaling electrified industrial heating processes. A consortium made up of industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, national labs, and other stakeholders is sought to: develop electrified process heating solutions for industry; create modeling and optimization tools to facilitate integration of electrified processes into manufacturing plants; develop technology evaluation tools and methodologies; and educate and develop the manufacturing workforce needed to implement this technology.
