Through this two-year initiative, DOE will trial a wide range of technical assistance resources – including energy/decarbonization assessments, specialized trainings on industrial systems and energy-related topics, and technology validations and demonstrations – while soliciting feedback from energy intensive manufacturers on what they would find most valuable on an ongoing basis. In addition, DOE will facilitate peer-based learning opportunities, scenario planning activities, financial research, case studies, and access to R&D planning and resources across other relevant DOE offices. Participating facilities will be able to choose from a set of resources based on their needs and interest.

Participants in this initiative will be asked to:

• Work with DOE to identify energy and carbon efficiency measures, test resources, and track progress
• Share best practices and lessons learned with DOE
• Provide insight on types of technical assistance with high potential for uptake among sectors^.
