In the months since passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Biden administration has been busy unveiling new funding opportunities for clean energy manufacturing.
The White House has rolled out billions of dollars in funding to spur domestic investments in production for everything from electric vehicles and batteries to semiconductors and solar panels. The focus on manufacturing has become a key tenet of Biden’s domestic policy agenda, as the president criss-crossed the U.S. this year visiting factories as part of his Investing in America agenda.
Some of the funding, such as $32 million for critical mineral production announced in July, is meant to jump start supporting industries in the clean energy sector, especially as the U.S. tries to lessen its dependence on foreign imports. Other funding, such as $15.5 billion for EV-related manufacturers, is meant to aid companies in the push away from fossil-fuel driven sectors to clean energy manufacturing.
Read on for a look at some of the top manufacturing funding opportunities unveiled by the White House this year.
