U.S. Department of Energy Announces Plans To Create Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence To Reduce Industrial Emissions

September 2nd, 2024

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) today announced its plan to create a Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence to accelerate the development and adoption of novel low-carbon cement and concrete technologies.

U.S. national laboratories can receive up to $9 million through an upcoming competitive lab call to develop and lead the center.

The center will support collaboration across academia, national labs, government agencies, and corporations to develop and validate low-carbon cement and concrete technologies, increase the industry’s economic competitiveness, and help the U.S. reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. 

The center will address the following priorities:  

  • Test method development
  • Modeling
  • Data collection and monitoring
  • Carbon accounting. 

Stay Tuned for the Lab Call!
National laboratories are encouraged to leverage existing infrastructure and collaborate with universities and other entities. Proposals should allocate sufficient resources to address commercialization challenges and barriers.
