The REMADE Institute, a 141-member public-private partnership established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) with an initial investment of $140 million, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to further accelerate the U.S.’s transition to a circular economy.
Responses to REMADE’s RFI will inform the next iteration of the Institute’s technology roadmap, which is currently focused on reducing manufacturing’s energy consumption; decreasing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions; reducing the use of raw and virgin, or primary, materials; increasing remanufacturing and the use and supply of recycled, or secondary, materials; fostering circular innovations; and addressing manufacturing’s impact on climate change.
In addition to seeking feedback regarding these current activities, the RFI asks where REMADE should focus its efforts relative to electric vehicles and solar power as part of the Institute’s future planning.
Innovators and researchers with industry, academia, government, and the non-profit sector who are interested and involved in the nation’s transition to a circular economy are especially encouraged to respond. Responses can be submitted in either short-form or long-form.
