Statement from Third Way Senior Director for Climate and Energy Ryan Fitzpatrick on the Department of Energy Industrial Demonstrations Program Announcement

WASHINGTON—Third Way Senior Director from Climate and Energy Ryan Fitzpatrick issued the following statement in response to the selected projects by the Department of Energy for its Industrial Demonstrations Program.

“By demonstrating technologies to cut industrial emissions, the US is also demonstrating leadership on the global stage. The awards announced today will make American businesses and workers more competitive in fast-growing markets for cleaner products, while advancing solutions to help nations around the world meet climate goals.”

“Demonstrations are a smart way to lower risk, unlock private investment, and help the US turn hard-earned R&D into commercial success. The number of applicants for this $6 billion program was enormous, as is the range of technologies required to decarbonize heavy industries–making clear the opportunity for ongoing investment in industrial demonstrations.”
