The Testing Expertise and Access for Marine Energy Research (TEAMER™) program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and directed by the Pacific Ocean Energy Trust (POET), will accelerate that process through 2-3 annual open funding calls over each of the next three years to support developers seeking access to the nation’s best facilities and expertise. Over this time, TEAMER plans to distribute approximately $9 million through the periodic competitive opportunities (known as Requests for Technical Support, RFTSs) to support marine renewable energy (MRE) testing and development projects.
The Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund (CTF), launched in 2021, is a charitable fund that supports pioneering projects needed to reach global net zero. Our ambition is guided by an impact-first approach, meaning we are searching for solutions with the greatest potential long-term impact that actually reduce CO₂ emissions rather than focus on carbon compensation claims.
The 2022/2023 BENEFIT FOA will invest up to $15.35M – $45.2M across 5 topic areas to allow all interested parties to research and develop high-impact, cost-effective technologies and practices that will reduce carbon emissions, improve flexibility and resilience, as well as lower energy costs.
Topic 1: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and Water Heating: Technologies with improved materials, components, equipment design and engineering, lower cost manufacturing processes, and easier installation.
Topic 2: Thermal Energy Storage (TES): Development and validation of next generation plug-and-play TES products with improved cost and performance and ease of installation to accelerate adoption of TES in HVAC applications.
Topic 3: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Development, validation, and demonstration of product innovations that reduce the cost of BESS integration, improve the coordination between distributed BESS and the electrical grid, as well as help meet building decarbonization targets.
Topic 4: Plug Loads/Lighting: Integration of plug load controls with connected lighting systems in commercial buildings with minimal cost and complexity to support building electrification.
Topic 5: Opaque Building Envelope: Development, validation, and demonstration of high-impact, affordable. opaque building envelope retrofit and diagnostic technologies.
Greentown Labs and Browning the Green Space (BGS) are requesting applications from innovative startups with founding and executive teams that are primarily made up of BIPOC leaders who are developing climate solutions for sectors including electricity, transportation, buildings, manufacturing, and agriculture. Startups will focus on product and technology development, market development, capital raising, and management & team development throughout the accelerator, all while having access to Greentown Labs’ incubators and world-class mentors from both Greentown Labs and BGS’s networks.
The Dept of Energy, in partnership with the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII), is announcing $2 million in funding to help manufacturers adopt smart manufacturing technologies and processes that will increase productivity, save energy, and boost competitiveness across energy-intensive industries. Accelerating smart manufacturing technologies – including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics – increases integration and automation, helping manufacturers monitor, evaluate, and improve their operations.

Under this Program Opportunity Notice (PON), the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) is seeking proposals for training initiatives focused on addressing projected OSW workforce gaps and preparing workers for high growth jobs. Training audiences may consist of existing and/or new workers. Individuals and entities that may apply as lead applicants for funding include technical/vocational high schools, community colleges, universities, labor unions, training and job placement intermediaries, community-based organizations and non-profit organizations as well as OSW Original Equipment Manufacturers, distributors, vendors, suppliers, developers, and trade associations with a demonstrated track record in technical training, job preparedness and/or placement of program graduates. Preference will be given to projects that include or are led by certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises and/or Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Businesses.
Alberta Innovates offers a full-spectrum of supports for every stage of your innovation journey. We would be happy to connect with you to evaluate your project and determine where we can offer our assistance.
This one-time funding of approximately $15 million is intended to support grants to public or private entities for capital improvements and technical assistance to support the installation of charging infrastructure for zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Oregon DEQ will fund projects that meet criteria as established by the Oregon Legislature and the agency through a competitive, rolling application process. The goal of this grant program is to accelerate Oregon’s transition from older, more polluting vehicles and equipment to new zero-emission trucks, buses and equipment. In addition, DEQ wants to facilitate development of a robust infrastructure to support a diverse range of Oregon fleets and fueling locations. Successful applicants will apply with comprehensive project plans for zero-emission fueling and request funding for the installation of the charging infrastructure and equipment.
AMMTO and GTO are jointly issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement of Lithium Extraction and Conversion from Geothermal Brines. This funding opportunity will spur the development of domestic lithium supply and refinement capacity to secure America’s clean energy supply chains and increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness abroad.
Topic Areas: (1) Field Validation of Lithium Hydroxide Production from Geothermal Brines; (2) Applied Research & Development for Direct Lithium Extraction from Geothermal Brines.
Specifically, DOE’s Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to provide electric power to Tribal Building, which otherwise would be unelectrified, by deploying (1) integrated energy system(s) (Topic Area 1) or (2) energy infrastructure (Topic Area 2).
For purposes of this FOA, “unelectrified” means Tribal Buildings that are not connected to (1) the traditional centralized electric power grid, and not
connected to (2) an integrated energy system(s) operating independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid.
