Grant Description: A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. This Financial Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to develop transformational industrial processes and equipment to reduce the energy intensity and carbon footprint of the U.S. manufacturing industry. A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact industry activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. The emphasis is on new processes and technologies that can be commercialized within the next five to seven years. Therefore, preference will be given to technologies that are in stage 3 or 4 of the Stage-Gate process. The Stage Gate process is a tool to manage the progress of a project and guide disciplined decision-making throughout the course of research, development and commercialization. It is comprised of five stages: " Stage 1 Preliminary Investigation and Analysis, " Stage 2 Concept Definition, " Stage 3 Concept Development, " Stage 4 Technology Development and Verification, and " Stage 5 Information Dissemination and Commercialization.
