Industrial Technology Validation Program

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Industrial Efficiency & Decarbonization Office (IEDO) has launched phase two of the Industrial Technology Validation program. This phase is open to all industrial sites that want to team with technology vendors to evaluate innovative manufacturing technologies in their plants. Technology vendors are also invited to apply individually.

            

Emerging Technology Helps Meet Sustainability Goals

Industrial companies across the country are prioritizing ambitious sustainability goals to reduce energy, GHG, water, and waste. Emerging technologies can be integral to achieving these goals, but the risks involved in installing and objectively validating performance in high-stakes industrial environments can often impede adoption.

Objective Evaluation Minimizes Adoption Risk

Validate innovative energy-, GHG-, water-, and waste-reducing technologies to decarbonize industry with support from  DOE’s National Labs. Results will be shared broadly and help the industrial sector understand the viability of a solution while mitigating many of the risks associated with being the first to install an emerging technology.
