ClosedDOE Industrial Technologies Office (ITO)United States

The DOE Industrial Energy Storage Systems Prize – Phase 1: Design is a prize competition administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Technologies Office (ITO), hosted on the HeroX platform. It is Phase 1 of a three-phase, $4.8 million prize challenge aimed at discovering cost-effective energy storage concepts for industrial facilities that enhance energy efficiency and can be ap

Industrial energy storage at the facility level — high-temperature thermal storage (>300°C), industrial cooling energy storage, hybrid cooling/heating/power thermal storage, and industrial-level electric storage that increases energy efficiency across U.S. industry sectors.
