Technology developers and host sites are required to submit a single, joint application for this opportunity. An eligible technology must be developed to the point where it is ready for installation and assessment in an industrial setting. Technologies must fit one of the following categories:
“Pre-Commercial Technology” – Technology that is not yet fully available on the open market and has a value proposition or price that is still being defined;
“Early Commercial Technology” – Technology whose value and risks are understood by specialists for some applications, but the supply chain and/or full-scale production have not yet been fully established;
“New Applications” – Technology will be demonstrated in a different sector or use case than conventionally deployed; and
“Underutilized” – Technology is commercialized, but adoption within the U.S. or within a relevant industry is not widespread.
There is no specific requirement for scale of installation required. Eligible projects could include a permanent, full-scale installation of an underutilized technology, or a partial scale, temporary installation (e.g., side-stream configuration) of a pre-commercial technology.
Potential technology developers could include, but are not limited to:
- Innovators and Inventors
- Small Businesses
- Incubators
- Laboratories
- Equipment Manufacturers/Vendors
National laboratories are not eligible to apply as technology developers.
Host sites must be an operational industrial site, e.g., a manufacturing facility, water or wastewater treatment plant, or a data center. There are no specific industrial sectors of interest.
