DOE BIL Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing FOA, Round 1 (DE-FOA-0002678)

The first Bipartisan Infrastructure Law battery supply-chain solicitation under IIJA Section 40207, issued by DOE's Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains with EERE and administered through NETL. Grants.gov records $3.1 billion in estimated funding across an anticipated 34 awards, posted May 2, 2022 and closing July 1, 2022 after a February 11, 2022 notice of intent (DE-FOA-0002677). Selections were announced October 19, 2022 and are the graphite chain's founding federal awards: Anovion LLC (35,000 tpa synthetic graphite anode material), NOVONIX Anode Materials LLC (30,000 t/yr synthetic graphite, Chattanooga), and Syrah Technologies LLC (Vidalia natural-graphite active anode material expansion) were all selected in the 'Materials Separation & Processing (Anode Materials)' supply-chain segment. DOE's program page now reports $1.82 billion awarded to 14 round-1 projects but publishes no award dates, and the round-1 selections detail page returns HTTP 404, so this record's verified lifecycle ends at selected.
