Summary:
This financial opportunity seeks to develop transformational industrial processes and equipment to reduce the energy intensity and carbon footprint of the U.S. manufacturing industry.

Therefore, preference will be given to technologies that are in stage 3 or 4 of the Stage-Gate process. The Stage-Gate process comprises five stages:
- Stage 1: Preliminary Investigation and Analysis
- Stage 2: Concept Definition
- Stage 3: Concept Development
- Stage 4: Technology Development and Verification
- Stage 5: Information Dissemination and Commercialization.
