DOE Funding Opportunity: Partner with National Labs to Commercialize Energy Technologies
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new funding opportunity through its Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF), aimed at accelerating the commercialization of energy-related technologies developed by DOE National Laboratories. Applications are due April 28.
This opportunity is particularly relevant for manufacturers—including glass producers—interested in advancing innovative processes, materials, or energy solutions. Projects focus on bridging the gap between lab-scale innovation and real-world deployment, with an emphasis on improving industrial efficiency, reducing emissions, and strengthening U.S. energy competitiveness.
Applicants are encouraged to form partnerships with National Labs, universities, and supply chain partners to support demonstration and field validation of technologies. The program supports a wide range of industrial applications and prioritizes collaborations that can bring impactful technologies to market more quickly.
While funding levels vary by topic, awards are intended to de-risk commercialization and accelerate adoption of cutting-edge energy solutions across industry.
Why it matters for glass manufacturers:
This FOA presents an opportunity to access federally funded innovations—such as advanced materials, energy efficiency technologies, or decarbonization solutions—and help bring them to commercial scale through industry partnerships.
