The U.S. Department of Energy funds R&D to develop and deploy highly efficient and innovative manufacturing technologies. Learn about the DOE Advanced Manufacturing Office and initiatives, the latest technology research, and how to implement an energy management system.
Manufacturing is a large and extremely diverse energy-consuming sector. Implementing effective energy management systems helps reduce energy intensity and carbon emissions.
Programs and Initiatives
Advanced Manufacturing Office
Leads the drive to increase energy productivity and foster innovations that will bolster U.S. technology leadership and global competitiveness. The office sponsors cost-shared R&D and provides support for the widespread use of energy management systems and best practices across the supply chain.
Innovative Manufacturing Initiative leverages public and private funds to develop new processes and materials that enable companies to cut costs while using less energy. The initiative is part of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership.
Better Buildings, Better Plants Program recognizes companies that demonstrate their commitment to energy savings by signing a voluntary pledge to reduce energy intensity by 25% over ten years.
