LighTimes: U.S. DOE Seeks Applications for U.S. SSL Manufacturing Program
June 29, 2010…The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energys (EEREs) Building Technologies (BT) Program, is seeking applications for the second round of applied research in the Solid-State Lighting (SSL) US Manufacturing Program. The DOE’s objective for the manufacturing program is to achieve cost reduction of solid-state lighting for general illumination through improvements in manufacturing equipment, processes, or techniques.
The DOE says it expects that success of the program will lead to a more rapid adoption/installation of high-quality SSL products resulting in a significant reduction of energy use and a corresponding reduction of environmental pollutants. A secondary objective of the project is to maintain and further establish the manufacturing and technology base within the U.S. solid state lighting such as LEDs and OLEDs. Information about round 2 of the DOE SSL Manufacturing program is available at: Fedconnect.net under search for funding opportunites. (Reference Number DE-FOA-0000334).
