U.S. Department of Energy Releases First-Ever Blueprint for a Clean and Competitive Industrial Sector

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), with contributions from various federal agencies, have just released "The National Blueprint for a Clean & Competitive Industrial Sector." This plan builds on existing industrial investments across federal agencies and outlines five strategies to support the growth of American manufacturing. The goal is to create a framework where the private sector leads, but the government plays a key role in enabling that growth. The Blueprint aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration’s vision to transform U.S. manufacturing—boosting competitiveness, reducing pollution, and creating well-paying jobs for American workers.
