Doe Office Of Clean Energy Demonstrations

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) in December 2021 to help scale the emerging technologies needed to tackle our most pressing climate challenges and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. OCED is managing more than $25 billion in funding to deliver clean energy demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonized system. OCED is a multi-technology office with demonstrations that include clean hydrogen, carbon management, advanced nuclear reactors, long-duration energy storage, and industrial decarbonization, as well as demonstration projects in rural or remote areas and on current and former mine land. These technologies face significant barriers to scale and OCED’s role is to address these barriers and help de-risk them. OCED will prove the effectiveness of these technologies in real world conditions at scale to pave the way towards widespread adoption and deployment. Most of OCED’s projects are structured as collaborative partnerships that use cost share agreements. OCED will provide up to 50 percent of the funding in its public-private partnerships, assisting its industry partners with the early steps to commercialization and deployment. All OCED-funded projects will address the Energy and Environmental Justice and Justice40 Initiative; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility; Community, Labor, and Tribal engagement; and Quality Jobs.
