Validate innovative energy-, water-, waste-, and emissions-reducing technologies to enhance competitiveness, reduce costs, and improve demand-side energy security 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.
The Industrial Technology Validation Program seeks to partner with industrial sites teamed with a technology developer to evaluate emerging manufacturing technologies in their plants.
Solicitation Opportunities Coming Spring 2025!
The ITV program was established to provide unbiased assessments of the energy performance of emerging industrial technologies in real-world operating conditions. In this program, technology developers and industrial host sites work together to install innovative technologies at industrial facilities, with the technology developer providing the equipment/technology for validation, and the host site agreeing to install the equipment at their facility and provide data about the technology’s performance.
Awards of up to $400,000 will be available to technology owner/host site teams to offset the costs of implementing new technology for the ITV program, such as equipment purchases and staff time. To participate, technology developers and industrial host sites must apply jointly; technology developers without a planned host site will not be eligible to apply. However, to facilitate connections between technology developers and potential host sites, DOE is hosting a teaming partner list where interested parties may provide their contact information, which can be found here.
Awardees will be required to work closely with DOE’s Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory (LBNL), who will support the design and implementation of robust technology assessment plans and develop a technical report on the validated technology’s performance and impact, which will be published on the ITV website. Participants will be required to provide at least 50% cost share towards the total cost of each project.
