 The '''West Gate''' program, launched in November 2021 by the Department of Energy’s [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE), embeds innovators at the [[National Renewable Energy Laboratory]] (NREL) as the fourth node of the [[Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program]] (LEEP), supporting over 15 fellows across three cohorts by 2025 who develop technologies from carbon dioxide storage to solar efficiency enhancements.
-With initial funding from EERE’s [[Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office]] (AMMTO) and support from the [[Colorado School of Mines]], West Gate leverages NREL’s world-class labs—like the [[Energy Systems Integration Facility]]—raising over $10 million in follow-on funding for its first cohort by 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nrel.gov/west-gate/ |title=West Gate |publisher=National Renewable Energy Laboratory}}</ref>

 Cohort 3, the most diverse yet, began in September 2024, reinforcing DOE’s clean energy transition goals amid broader U.S. energy policy discussions.

 ==History==
-Announced on November 29, 2021, West Gate expanded LEEP with a $2.5 million investment, welcoming Cohort 1 in September 2022 to tackle materials circularity and energy storage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/department-energy-launches-fourth-lab-embedded-entrepreneurship-program-help |title=West Gate Launch |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> Cohort 2 started in 2023, raising the bar with innovations like brine mineral extraction, while Cohort 3, launched September 2024, broadened technological diversity with six DOE offices funding it. West Gate continues to evolve, supporting DOE’s clean energy mission.

 ==Funding==
-Initial funding of $2.5 million in 2021 covered Cohort 1’s five fellows, with over $7.5 million allocated by 2025 across three cohorts—each fellow receiving $100,000/year stipends and up to $175,000 in R&D.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/department-energy-launches-fourth-lab-embedded-entrepreneurship-program-help |title=West Gate Launch |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> Ongoing AMMTO support, with $10 million+ in follow-on funding by 2024, sustains the program with no end date, tied to DOE’s decarbonization goals.
