Description: The Industrial Energy Storage Systems Prize is a $4.8 million challenge sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). The prize seeks cost-effective energy storage concepts for industrial facilities that enhance energy efficiency and are applicable across industrial sectors. This prize supports the acceleration of market adoption for cost-effective thermal energy storage technologies that can be charged by thermal or electrical sources, and provide heating, cooling, and/or power to industrial facilities.  To accommodate a variety of industrial sectors, the prize invites submissions of thermal energy storage solutions across a range of temperatures of industrial relevance. Competitors may submit up to one application to each of the following three categories: Industrial cooling energy storage, High temperature (>300°C) industrial energy storage, Industrial thermal storage for hybrid cooling, heating, and power. These storage solutions facilitate time shifting of either electric or thermal energy demand to enable on-site or near-site clean energy to fully meet the heat or power demands of industrial processes. This not only saves time and money, but also gives manufacturers greater control over the availability and integration of energy into their operations.

The foundation anticipates that proposals will span a wide range of topics and disciplines and innovatively address questions central to education, including education, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, law, economics, history, and neuroscience.
