New Prize to Help Accelerate U.S. Wind Turbine Materials Recycling
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office recently launched its second American-Made Challenges prize, the Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize. With a prize pool of $5.1 million, the two-phase competition will help the United States develop a cost-effective, sustainable recycling industry for two types of materials used in wind turbines: fiber-reinforced composites (carbon fiber and fiberglass) and rare earth elements (including neodymium and dysprosium magnets used in generators). Among the prize goals is the aim to safeguard domestic wind energy manufacturing by improving resilience to price volatility and supply chain disruption. Read more about the prize and register to attend an Aug. 3, 2023, informational webinar to learn how to apply for the first phase of the prize before the Sept. 29, 2023, submission deadline.

DOE Releases NOI to Accelerate
Domestic Manufacturing of EVs
On June 28, DOE released a notice of intent to invest $2 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate domestic manufacturing of electrified vehicles. These investments are expected to be made available in the coming months and will boost American production of clean energy technology, create and retain good-paying jobs with the free and fair chance to join a union, and support President Biden’s national goals for electric vehicles to make up at least half of all new vehicle sales by 2030 and to transition to a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. Those interested in applying for the upcoming funding opportunity are encouraged to register to receive updates from the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains.
