42 U.S.C. § 17113: Industrial emissions reduction technology development program

The term “Director” means the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. a scientist or other individual with knowledge and expertise in emissions reduction; an institution of higher education; a nongovernmental organization; a National Laboratory; a private entity; and a partnership or consortium of 2 or more entities described in subparagraphs (B) through (E). The term “emissions reduction” means the reduction, to the maximum extent practicable, of net nonwater greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere by energy services and industrial processes. The term “emissions reduction” does not include the elimination of carbon embodied in the principal products of industrial manufacturing. The term “program” means the program established under subsection (b)(1). The term “critical material or mineral” means a material or mineral that serves an essential function in the manufacturing of a product and has a high risk of a supply disruption, such that a shortage of such a material or mineral would have significant consequences for United States economic or national security. increase the technological and economic competitiveness of industry and manufacturing in the United States; increase the viability and competitiveness of United States industrial technology exports; and achieve emissions reduction in nonpower industrial sectors. coordinate with each relevant office in the Department and any other Federal agency; coordinate and collaborate with the Industrial Technology Innovation Advisory Committee established under section 17115 of this title ; and coordinate and seek to avoid duplication with the Future of Industry 1 program established under 1 So in original. section 17111 of this title . existing resources and programs of the Department and other relevant Federal agencies; and public-private partnerships. achieve emissions reduction in high emissions industrial materials production processes, including production processes for iron, steel, steel mill products, aluminum, cement, concrete, glass, pulp, paper, and industrial ceramics; through electrification of heating processes; through renewable heat generation technology; through combined heat and power; and by switching to alternative fuels, including hydrogen and nuclear energy; achieve emissions reduction in chemical production processes, including by incorporating, if appropriate and practicable, principles, practices, and methodologies of sustainable chemistry and engineering; model and simulate manufacturing production lines; monitor and communicate production line status; manage and optimize energy productivity and cost throughout production; and model, simulate, and optimize the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes; by designing products that enable reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling; by minimizing waste from industrial processes, including through the reuse of waste as other resources in other industrial processes for mutual benefit; and by increasing resource efficiency; and increase the energy efficiency of industrial processes; high-performance lightweight materials; and substitutions for critical materials and minerals; development of net-zero emissions liquid and gaseous fuels; emissions reduction in shipping, aviation, and long distance transportation; carbon capture technologies for industrial processes; other technologies that achieve net-zero emissions in nonpower industrial sectors, as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the Director; and modeling, simulation, and optimization of the design of energy efficient and sustainable products; and the use of digital prototyping and additive manufacturing to enhance product design. incorporation of sustainable chemistry and engineering principles, practices, and methodologies, as the Secretary determines appropriate; and other research or technology areas identified in the Strategic Plan authorized in section 17114 of this title . In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities for projects that the Secretary determines would best achieve the goals of the program. In carrying out the program, the Secretary may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with eligible entities and Federal agencies for projects that the Secretary determines would further the purposes of the program. In supporting technologies developed under this section, the Secretary shall fund demonstration projects that test and validate technologies described in subsection (c). An entity seeking funding or a contract or agreement under this subsection shall submit to the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary may require. In awarding funds under this section, the Secretary shall require cost sharing in accordance with section 16352 of this title . $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2021; $80,000,000 for fiscal year 2022; $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2023; $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2024; and $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2025. The Secretary shall carry out the activities authorized in this section in accordance with section 18631 of this title . the technological and economic competitiveness of industry and manufacturing in the United States; and the emissions reduction of nonpower industrial sectors.”
