Industrial emissions reduction technology development program

In this section: The term “Director” means the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The term “eligible entity” means— The term “emissions reduction” means the reduction, to the maximum extent practicable, of net nonwater greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere by energy services and industrial processes. The term “emissions reduction” does not include the elimination of carbon embodied in the principal products of industrial manufacturing. The term “program” means the program established under subsection (b)(1). The term “critical material or mineral” means a material or mineral that serves an essential function in the manufacturing of a product and has a high risk of a supply disruption, such that a shortage of such a material or mineral would have significant consequences for United States economic or national security. Not later than 1 year after December 27, 2020, the Secretary, in consultation with the Director, the heads of relevant Federal agencies, National Laboratories, industry, and institutions of higher education, shall establish a crosscutting industrial emissions reduction technology development program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application to advance innovative technologies that— In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall— In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall leverage, to the maximum extent practicable— The program shall focus on— industrial production processes, including technologies and processes that— achieve emissions reduction in medium- and high-temperature heat generation, including— leverage smart manufacturing technologies and principles, digital manufacturing technologies, and advanced data analytics to develop advanced technologies and practices in information, automation, monitoring, computation, sensing, modeling, and networking to— leverage the principles of sustainable manufacturing to minimize the potential negative environmental impacts of manufacturing while conserving energy and resources, including— alternative materials that produce fewer emissions during production and result in fewer emissions during use, including— high-performance computing to develop advanced materials and manufacturing processes contributing to the focus areas described in paragraphs (1) through (6), including— In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities for projects that the Secretary determines would best achieve the goals of the program. In carrying out the program, the Secretary may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with eligible entities and Federal agencies for projects that the Secretary determines would further the purposes of the program. In supporting technologies developed under this section, the Secretary shall fund demonstration projects that test and validate technologies described in subsection (c). An entity seeking funding or a contract or agreement under this subsection shall submit to the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary may require. In awarding funds under this section, the Secretary shall require cost sharing in accordance with section 16352 of this title. There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out the demonstration projects authorized in subsection (d)(3)— The Secretary shall carry out the activities authorized in this section in accordance with section 18631 of this title.
