Clean Energy Demonstrations

The mission of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has been to deliver clean energy demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, and market adoption. OCED has multiple technology offices with demonstrations that include clean hydrogen, advanced nuclear reactors, long-duration energy storage, demonstration projects in rural or remote areas and on current and former mine land, and more. The technologies in OCED’s portfolio face significant barriers to scale. OCED’s role is to address these barriers and help de-risk them. Central to OCED’s approach is consistent engagement with a wide range of stakeholders and pursuit of projects that advance an equitable transition by providing benefits to communities across America. Most of OCED’s projects are structured as collaborative partnerships that use cost share agreements. OCED will provide up to 50 percent of the funding in its public-private partnerships, assisting its industry partners with the early steps to commercialization and deployment.
