Sustainable manufacturing workshop

Abstract

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE)’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) held a workshop on Sustainable Manufacturing to gather input from stakeholders on future opportunities and technical challenges facing development and scale-up of transformative technologies, processes, and equipment for sustainable manufacturing. AMO also sought individual input on performance metrics and identification of key problem sets to be addressed. The intent was to define critical crosscutting barriers that, if successfully addressed, could enable step change impacts beyond the current state of the art. Technology development is expected to focus on the gap between lab-scale development and deployment and scale-up.
