DOE allocates $45.7 million to strengthen U.S. critical minerals processing

The U.Asian Metal Copyright These projects span graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, manganese, silicon, and other materials, drawing on feedstocks that range from ore and brines to recycled batteries, coal waste, end-of-life magnets, industrial residues, and dilute wastewaters.Asian Metal CopyrightS.Asian Metal Copyright A second group is designated as next-generation technologies, supporting bench-scale development of new approaches for the production, recovery, separation, or concentration of critical materials.Asian Metal Copyright Department of Energy has selected 19 projects to share $45.Asian Metal Copyright These projects span graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, manganese, silicon, and other materials, drawing on feedstocks that range from ore and brines to recycled batteries, coal waste, end-of-life magnets, industrial residues, and dilute wastewaters.Asian Metal Copyright7 million in federal funding to bring more critical minerals processing and materials production into the United States, targeting pilot-scale and next-generation technologies that strengthen domestic supply chains.Asian Metal Copyright7 million in federal funding to bring more critical minerals processing and materials production into the United States, targeting pilot-scale and next-generation technologies that strengthen domestic supply chains.Asian Metal Copyright DOE's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation said the awards will support pilot-scale facilities for magnesium and rare earth processing, along with earlier-stage technologies applicable to critical materials production.

Structured through the Critical Material Innovation, Efficiency, and Alternatives funding opportunity, the funding aims to develop domestic critical mineral supply from sources across the country, including ore deposits, mine and industrial waste, and recycled materials. The largest grants fall under the pilot-scale facility category, intended to advance rare earth separation and magnesium metal production toward pre-commercial and commercial-scale development.Asian Metal Copyright The largest grants fall under the pilot-scale facility category, intended to advance rare earth separation and magnesium metal production toward pre-commercial and commercial-scale development.Asian Metal Copyright A second group is designated as next-generation technologies, supporting bench-scale development of new approaches for the production, recovery, separation, or concentration of critical materials.Asian Metal CopyrightThe U.Asian Metal Copyright These projects span graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, manganese, silicon, and other materials, drawing on feedstocks that range from ore and brines to recycled batteries, coal waste, end-of-life magnets, industrial residues, and dilute wastewaters.
