📢 DOE Manufacturing & Energy Supply Chains Office (MESC) Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of the Treasury are supercharging America’s energy manufacturing! Today, we’re announcing $6B in allocations for the second round of the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (§ 48C Program) funded through the Inflation Reduction Act. The second round of tax credits will support over 140 projects across more than 30 states that manufacture critical energy products, materials and minerals, or reduce GHG emissions. By investing in domestic energy production, we’re not only helping local economies thrive—we're also building a #secure energy future for America!     Click the link below to learn more about how this program is supercharging the energy industry: https://lnkd.in/eJaZsc5R  

Interested in up to $840 off a new clothes dryer? This opportunity may be coming soon to your state. New York recently became the first state to offer in-store Home Energy Rebates on heat pump dryers. These ultra-efficient appliances use 25% less energy than their conventional counterparts. Check energy.gov/rebates to see if your state has launched its rebates programs, which can help you save up to $14,000 on a wide range of home upgrades. Live in New York?

Let’s go, GDO! Check out the 2024 Wrap-Up from the Grid Deployment Office | U.S. Department of Energy below.

This week, OCED awarded six projects across two programs committing more than $660 million of federal funding. 👏    OCED issued two grant awards in Alaska under the rural and remote program. The first plans to install air-source heat pumps in 240 tribally owned homes and community facilities on Prince of Wales Island—a location only accessible by small aircraft or ferry. The second plans to improve energy resilience in the Arctic Circle by upgrading the region’s power plant infrastructure to enable the integration of a 525 kW solar photovoltaic system and a 990 kWh battery energy storage system. 🔋    OCED also awarded four projects under the Industrial Demonstrations Program:   ▪️ Diageo plans to partner with Rondo Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to upgrade beverage facilities by replacing natural gas-fired heat with Rondo Heat Batteries, electric boilers, and other thermal solutions.   ▪️ ExxonMobil aims to enable the use of hydrogen in place of natural gas across high heat-fired equipment using new burner technologies for ethylene production, a chemical feedstock used in manufacturing.   ▪️ Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. plans to demonstrate the viability of Via Separations’ membrane technology to potentially scale across other domestic pulp and paper mills and other industrial sectors, such as chemical manufacturing.  ▪️ Technip Energies in partnership with LanzaTech plans to use a biotech-based carbon recycling process and low carbon intensity hydrogen to create sustainable ethanol and ethylene.  🏆 Learn more about all this week’s awarded projects: https://lnkd.in/eDj4Hu4k      Stay up-to-date on all future awards, funding opportunities, news announcements, upcoming events, and more, subscribe to our newsletter today 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDJVVENA 

📢Today: We’re announcing nearly $15 million in funding for 57 small- and medium-sized manufacturers selected across the country to save energy, improve efficiency, and reduce pollution, all while strengthening our domestic #manufacturing sector. These 57 selections are expected to help reduce more than 33,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. To continue supporting U.S. #manufacturers, MESC is announcing four additional assessment providers – including one with cybersecurity expertise – further expanding expand access to Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITAC) implementation #grants.
