RFP 25-02

RFP 25-02 seeks technology proposals for Demonstration, Verification, and Validation (DV&V) projects.

Now Accepting Submissions

The REMADE Institute®a 150+ member public-private partnership funded in part by the United States Department of Energy, issued its seventh Request for Proposals, representing up to a $6 million investment in supplemental funding for technologies that support the nation’s manufacturing competitiveness and supply chain resilience goals.

The Institute is seeking proposals for demonstration, verification and validation (DV&V) projects that will be expected to demonstrate the technology meets the performance levels required by the supply chain and the economic targets accepted by the market. The proposed technologies must be consistent with REMADE’s multiple energy, material efficiency and lifecycle impact goals. These goals include increasing the reuse, remanufacturing, recovery and recycling (Re-X) of metals, such as aluminum and steel; fibers, including textiles; polymers, including plastics and tires; and electronic scrap.

ADDITIONAL RFP 25-02 RESOURCES

CALCULATING PROJECT / PROPOSAL BENEFITS

To help proposers calculate material efficiency and embodied energy benefits for their proposals and projects, REMADE has developed an Excel-based project impact calculator. The Project Impact Calculator is currently in beta testing though it has been revised into a updated version. The use of this tool is not mandatory, and proposals that opt not to use the tool will not be penalized; however, they will still need to calculate the energy, emissions, and material efficiency benefits for their proposal. If proposal teams use embodied energy or emissions data that is different than what was provided in the calculator, please reference the data source and detail any assumptions that went into these calculations to enable validation of these benefits.

To help REMADE refine the capabilities of the calculator and broaden its database of energy and emissions data, REMADE welcomes energy and emissions data that REMADE Members or third parties are willing to provide REMADE for use in the calculator.
