Advanced Manufacturing Office

Over the last decade, national investments in advanced manufacturing and decarbonization have grown significantly. DOE is investing more than ever in a decarbonized and competitive industrial sector and a domestic clean energy manufacturing base. As a result, the strategic planning, RDD, workforce development, and technical assistance activities under the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) also expanded to support two critical missions: one focused on increasing domestic manufacturing competitiveness, supporting critical minerals materials supply chains, and advancing clean energy manufacturing technologies, and another on decreasing industrial greenhouse gas emissions. In recognition of the national urgency of both missions, the Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Office (EERE) saw the need to give each a dedicated office. These new offices will allow EERE to remain nimble and transparent as well as focused on both missions. As such, on October 9th, 2022, EERE’s manufacturing activities will be organized within the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Technologies Office (AMMTO) and the Industrial Efficiency Decarbonization Office (IEDO). AMMTO will focus on accelerating innovation in the manufacturing sector and supporting a domestic clean energy technology manufacturing economy. IEDO will focus on reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions and increasing industrial resource efficiency. This restructuring will help DOE remain flexible, responsive, and transparent across the broad mission space of advanced manufacturing and position EERE for future opportunities in both critical mission spaces.
