ARPA-E Announces $35 Million to Decarbonize Domestic Iron and Steel Production
ARPA-E announced up to $35 million in funding to support a new program to enable zero-process-emission ironmaking and ultra-low life cycle emissions steelmaking.
The Revolutionizing Ore to Steel to Impact Emissions (ROSIE) program supports goals to reduce emissions as well as reduce imports of iron and steel products. The transformative technologies funded through this program would be the first to meet both emissions and cost parity goals.
“Where there are challenges, ARPA-E sees opportunities. So, it should come as no surprise that since iron and steel production are widely recognized as among the most difficult industrial sectors to decarbonize, that’s where ARPA-E will direct our attention,” said ARPA-E Director Evelyn N. Wang. “ROSIE will contribute to meeting U.S. net-zero goals, as well as secure U.S. technical leadership in a critical manufacturing discipline and increase exportable technology for low-emissions iron and steelmaking.”
ARPA-E Director Dr. Evelyn Wang was joined by ARPA-E Acting Deputy Director for Commercialization Dr. Daniel Cunningham and ARPA-E Technology-to-Market Advisor Dr. Gregg Cremer for a webinar to provide a high-level overview of the SCALEUP program and objectives. Cunningham and Cremer highlight key aspects of the SCALEUP 2023 funding opportunity application process, provide examples of previous successful SCALEUP applications, and address common questions that ARPA-E receives from organizations interested in applying to SCALEUP.
