For decades DOE has been using its expertise and capital to de-risk the technical barriers of clean energy and other decarbonization projects. The injection of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) capital is enabling DOE now to play a leading role in de-risking the market barriers needed for these technologies to first achieve commercialization, and then achieve competitive scale.
Join this session to learn about:
- What is the role of DOE grant capital as a de-risking mechanism in scaling tech across the technology readiness level (TRL) spectrum?
- How does DOE capital work alongside private sector investments to demonstrate and deploy energy technologies?
- What are real examples of projects that have been technologically de-risked to make it to the deployment stage?
