Subtitle D of title IV of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is amended by adding at the end the following: In this section: The term Director means the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The term eligible entity means— a scientist or other individual with knowledge and expertise in emissions reduction; an institution of higher education; a nongovernmental organization; a National Laboratory; a private entity; and a partnership or consortium of 2 or more entities described in subparagraphs
(B)through (E). The term emissions reduction means the reduction, to the maximum extent practicable, of net nonwater greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere by energy services and industrial processes. The term emissions reduction does not include the elimination of carbon embodied in the principal products of industrial manufacturing. The term program means the program established under subsection (b)(1). The term critical material or mineral means a material or mineral that serves an essential function in the manufacturing of a product and has a high risk of a supply disruption, such that a shortage of such a material or mineral would have significant consequences for United States economic or national security. Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the Energy Act of 2020 , the Secretary, in consultation with the Director, the heads of relevant Federal agencies, National Laboratories, industry, and institutions of higher education, shall establish a crosscutting industrial emissions reduction technology development program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application to advance innovative technologies that— increase the technological and economic competitiveness of industry and manufacturing in the United States; increase the viability and competitiveness of United States industrial technology exports; and achieve emissions reduction in nonpower industrial sectors. In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall— coordinate with each relevant office in the Department and any other Federal agency; coordinate and collaborate with the Industrial Technology Innovation Advisory Committee established under section 456; and coordinate and seek to avoid duplication with the energy-intensive industries program established under section 452. In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall leverage, to the maximum extent practicable— existing resources and programs of the Department and other relevant Federal agencies; and public-private partnerships. The program shall focus on— industrial production processes, including technologies and processes that— achieve emissions reduction in high emissions industrial materials production processes, including production processes for iron, steel, steel mill products, aluminum, cement, concrete, glass, pulp, paper, and industrial ceramics; achieve emissions reduction in medium- and high-temperature heat generation, including— through electrification of heating processes; through renewable heat generation technology; through combined heat and power; and by switching to alternative fuels, including hydrogen and nuclear energy; achieve emissions reduction in chemical production processes, including by incorporating, if appropriate and practicable, principles, practices, and methodologies of sustainable chemistry and engineering; leverage smart manufacturing technologies and principles, digital manufacturing technologies, and advanced data analytics to develop advanced technologies and practices in information, automation, monitoring, computation, sensing, modeling, and networking to— model and simulate manufacturing production lines; monitor and communicate production line status; manage and optimize energy productivity and cost throughout production; and model, simulate, and optimize the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes; leverage the principles of sustainable manufacturing to minimize the potential negative environmental impacts of manufacturing while conserving energy and resources, including— by designing products that enable reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling; by minimizing waste from industrial processes, including through the reuse of waste as other resources in other industrial processes for mutual benefit; and by increasing resource efficiency; and increase the energy efficiency of industrial processes; alternative materials that produce fewer emissions during production and result in fewer emissions during use, including— high-performance lightweight materials; and substitutions for critical materials and minerals; development of net-zero emissions liquid and gaseous fuels; emissions reduction in shipping, aviation, and long distance transportation; carbon capture technologies for industrial processes; other technologies that achieve net-zero emissions in nonpower industrial sectors, as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the Director; and high-performance computing to develop advanced materials and manufacturing processes contributing to the focus areas described in paragraphs
(1)through (6), including— modeling, simulation, and optimization of the design of energy efficient and sustainable products; and the use of digital prototyping and additive manufacturing to enhance product design. incorporation of sustainable chemistry and engineering principles, practices, and methodologies, as the Secretary determines appropriate; and other research or technology areas identified in the Strategic Plan authorized in section 455. In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities for projects that the Secretary determines would best achieve the goals of the program. In carrying out the program, the Secretary may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with eligible entities and Federal agencies for projects that the Secretary determines would further the purposes of the program. In supporting technologies developed under this section, the Secretary shall fund demonstration projects that test and validate technologies described in subsection (c). An entity seeking funding or a contract or agreement under this subsection shall submit to the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary may require. In awarding funds under this section, the Secretary shall require cost sharing in accordance with section 988 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16352 ). There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out the demonstration projects authorized in subsection (d)(3)— $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2021; $80,000,000 for fiscal year 2022; $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2023; $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2024; and $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2025. The Secretary shall carry out the activities authorized in this section in accordance with section 203 of the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 18631 ). . The table of contents of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 ( Public Law 110–140 ; 121 Stat. 1494) is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 453 the following: Sec. 454. Industrial emissions reduction technology development program. .
