ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION, TACKLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS, ENSURING THE NATION’S NUCLEAR SECURITY AND SUSTAINING INVESTMENT IN ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP The mission of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to support the Nation’s prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear security challenges through transformative science and technological solutions. DOE’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Budget Request (Request) of $46.2 billion is strengthened by the President’s American Jobs Plan creating jobs through deployment of clean energy projects; bringing America to the forefront of clean energy innovation; tackling the climate crisis with the urgency science demands; investing in communities that have been left behind; ensuring the Nation’s nuclear security; and sustaining the Nation’s investment in cleanup of World War II and Cold War nuclear sites. The FY 2022 Budget Request is another important opportunity for the Biden Administration to continue laying a stronger foundation for the future of the Nation and to reverse a legacy of chronic under-investment in crucial priorities. This Request is a means for America not only going back to the way things were before the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn struck, but is a path to begin building a better, stronger, more secure and more inclusive America. The FY 2022 Budget Request will continue to advance our core science and security missions and will jump-start efforts to create jobs and build the clean energy economy of the future. The Request supports an economy that better suits American families and an economy that works for all types of communities with jobs for all kinds of workers. America is back at the table for climate action and the Request supports new funding opportunities for technologies ranging from carbon capture to geothermal energy to extracting critical minerals from coal waste. Ambitious new goals for renewable energy are set to cut solar costs by more than half and add 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030. The U.S. must deploy research and development (R&D) initiatives developed at the National Laboratories. The National Laboratories have served as the Nation’s leading institutions for scientific innovation for more than 75 years, and most recently, these National Laboratories continued working toward groundbreaking discoveries, including in the fight against COVID-19. These investments are a down payment on what we need to do as a Nation. To build an economy that positions American families and American communities to thrive, we need the investments of the American Jobs Plan and the FY 2022 Budget Request to take us further. The FY 2022 Budget Request supports the President’s vision of achieving carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 while creating good-paying jobs by investing over $2.2 billion in a Building Clean Energy Projects and Workforce Initiative at DOE. This investment will support efficient implementation of American Jobs Plan programs – including programmatic infrastructure for a new energy efficiency and clean electricity standard --weatherizing 50,000 low-income homes, increasing the efficiency of federal buildings through performance contracts, and establishing a new Build Back Better Challenge Grant competition to support novel State-, local-, and Tribal-level approaches to clean energy deployment that provides benefits to marginalized and overburdened communities and streamlined transmission investment. These investments will develop and deploy technologies that will deliver a clean energy revolution resulting in affordable, abundant clean power delivered on a modern energy grid that is resilient and reliable. DOE is committed to securing environmental justice and spurring economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened by pollution and experience underinvestment in essential services. In line with Executive Order 14008, DOE will take proactive actions to work towards ensuring 40 percent of the benefits of climate and clean energy, remediation of legacy pollution, and workforce development investments are directed to disadvantaged communities. These actions will include an examination of the activities of key programs to determine whether those programs’ benefits have accrued to disadvantaged communities. DOE will also begin to track program expenditures that impact disadvantaged communities and consider metrics that will help track how applicable covered program benefits accrue at specific disadvantaged communities. Within DOE, the FY 2022 Budget Request invests more than $8 billion in clean energy and climate innovation. From investing
