About

The Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land is an Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations program for projects that deploy clean-energy technologies on mine land. The official page lists DE-FOA-0003009 with $450 million, issued in April 2023. Its scope covers current operating mine land and former abandoned or inactive mine land, so eligible project teams may include energy developers, mine-site owners, technology vendors, and industrial partners that can build and operate a demonstration. The program is recorded as closed because the cited FOA was issued in 2023 and no active deadline is listed on the source page. Applicants should use the record to understand the CEML program scope and to track future DOE or OCED mine-land demonstration opportunities.
