DOE: Notice of Intent to Issue Critical Minerals and Materials Accelerator
Extramural Funding
The Department of Energy intends to support industry-led partnerships to prototype and pilot innovative processing technologies that are currently only proven at the bench scale so to address critical minerals and materials challenges in high impact areas.
Four Areas of Interest are expected:
- Processes in the rare earth magnet supply chain;
- Processes to refine and alloy gallium, gallium nitride, germanium, and silicon carbide for use in semiconductors;
- Technologies for cost competitive direct lithium extraction and separation; and
- Technologies that improve cost competitiveness of critical material separation technologies through coproduction of value-added products from byproducts and scrap.
