International Industrial Energy Efficiency Training and Deployment

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is directed toward the development of U.S. international training capabilities in energy efficiency and management in key manufacturing sectors worldwide, including the performance of assessments of energy facilities. The successful outcome of this announcement would be the development of this training capability by U.S.-based companies and the accelerated deployment of energy saving and Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction opportunities. In addition, this accelerated deployment of energy saving and GHG emission reduction opportunities is anticipated to increase the market for state-of-the-art U.S. technologies and services in the countries of interest. Applications should address activities/tasks which target the training of auditors in industrial energy efficiency and adaptations of successful techniques used in the U.S. to energy intensive industries such as aluminum, steel and cement manufac turing.
