Participants will become part of a group of highly-trained scientists and engineers with the education, background, and experience to be part of the workforce that supports the DOE&#8217;s mission in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO)<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>is part of the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. With 30% of primary energy-related emissions attributable to the industrial sector, IEDO plays an important role in supporting the reduction of U.S. CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (compared to 2005 levels) and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IEDO\u2019s mission is to accelerate the innovation and adoption of cost-effective technologies aimed at eliminating industrial greenhouse gas emissions. As an office, IEDO provides the planning, management, and direction necessary for a balanced national program of research, development, demonstration, technical assistance, and workforce development across the industrial sector. The office currently works across three subprograms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Energy- and Emissions-Intensive Industries&nbsp;<\/strong>(EEII): Efforts in this pillar support the research, development, and demonstration (RD&amp;D) of technologies that dramatically reduce energy use and emissions from energy-intensive industries, such as chemicals, iron and steel, food and beverage, cement, and paper and forest products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cross-Sector Technologies&nbsp;<\/strong>(CST): Efforts in this pillar are aimed at developing solutions that address emissions across a broad range of industries. Focus areas include decarbonization of process heating, utilization of low carbon fuels and energy sources, emerging efficiency technologies, and water and wastewater treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technical Assistance &amp; Workforce Development<\/strong>&nbsp;(TAWD): Efforts in this pillar are aimed at developing partnerships with and delivering technical assistance to industry to increase the adoption of energy efficiency, decarbonization technologies, energy management programs, and water\/waste reduction technologies and practices across the industrial sector. This pillar also supports workforce training and upskilling activities that prepare existing workers and attract a diverse mix of workers to the industrial jobs of the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IEDO is seeking talented and passionate Fellows interested in supporting technical, programmatic, strategic, and policy efforts aimed at decarbonizing the industrial sector.<\/strong>&nbsp;Fellows will collaborate closely with IEDO staff\u2014including several former Fellows\u2014and will develop a broad understanding of the potential of new technologies and current barriers to technology deployment across all of IEDO\u2019s subprograms. This involves tracking the impact of the RD&amp;D portfolio in IEDO and assessing gaps or opportunity areas for future investments.&nbsp;<strong>This Fellowship&nbsp;will last one year, with the opportunity to renew for additional years at the discretion of the sponsoring office. Fellows will be placed in a \u201chome\u201d sub-program based on their interests and IEDO\u2019s office needs, and will have to opportunity to learn how to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify key technology opportunities and contribute to development and execution of IEDO, EERE, and DOE-level strategy for:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decarbonizing thermal processes,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing industrial energy efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilizing low-carbon fuels, feedstocks, and energy sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inform topic areas like:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strategic Analysis: life cycle assessment, technoeconomic analysis, portfolio evaluation, supply chain and economic scenario analysis of various manufacturing technologies\/processes\/industries, ancillary services, and their interdependencies therein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EEII: cement\/concrete, iron\/steel, chemicals, food &amp;
