Description
The focus of this NOFO is to invest in American industrial facilities that have the potential to produce valuable critical material byproducts from existing industrial processes. Industries such as mining and mineral processing, power generation, coal, oil and gas, specialty metals, and basic materials have the potential to address many of America’s most severe mineral vulnerabilities.
