Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP) is designed to accelerate decarbonization in energy-intensive industries, fostering technological innovation to reduce industrial emissions. It aims to provide American manufacturers with a competitive advantage in low and net-zero carbon manufacturing, supported by funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Goals
- Demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of industrial decarbonization technologies.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sectors.
- Promote widespread technology implementation and drive U.S. leadership in low-carbon manufacturing.
Organization
The Industrial Demonstrations Program is managed by the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) within the U.S. Department of Energy. The leader of the program is known as the **Director of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations**. Funding originates from federal allocations under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, with contributions from private sector cost-sharing.

History
The Industrial Demonstrations Program was established through funding from the **Bipartisan Infrastructure Law** and the **Inflation Reduction Act** to address the decarbonization of industries with high emissions. It was launched with a $6 billion Funding Opportunity Announcement in March 2023, aiming to select projects for award negotiations. The program has been evolving, with significant project selections announced in March 2024, focusing on transformational technologies across multiple industrial sectors. There are plans for continued engagement with communities to ensure benefits and sustainability.
Funding
The program started with an initial funding of $6.3 billion, with the possibility for further funding based on the success and needs of selected projects. Funding began in 2023, with no specified end date, indicating a long-term commitment to industrial decarbonization. The financing model includes a 50% federal cost share, with the rest coming from private sector investments.
Implementation
IDP is implemented through a series of project grants focusing on:
- Energy efficiency and industrial electrification.
- Utilization of low-carbon fuels and clean hydrogen.
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
There is no defined end date, as the program is structured to continue until significant decarbonization targets are met or new legislative directives alter its scope.
