WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $70.8 million to support federal partnerships with state and local governments to support small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) across the automotive, battery recycling, and smart manufacturing sectors. The projects, selected by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), will help SMMs upgrade manufacturing facilities to support advanced vehicles, increase the efficiency of battery recycling programs, and support state-level efforts to modernize their manufacturing base. Today’s selections help ensure benefits of certain federal investments in climate, clean energy, and other areas flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution.
华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 ——作为拜登总统“投资美国”计划的一部分，美国能源部（DOE）宣布提供7080万美元，支持联邦与州和地方政府的合作，助力汽车、电池回收和智能制造领域的小型和中型制造企业（SMMs）。这些项目由制造和能源供应链办公室（MESC）选定，将帮助SMMs升级制造设施以支持先进车辆，提升电池回收项目的效率，并支持州一级现代化制造基础的努力。这些项目旨在确保联邦在气候、清洁能源等领域的投资惠及因投资不足和污染负担过重而被边缘化的弱势社区。
“States and localities will guide America’s position as a leader in advancing a global clean energy transition, and the Biden-Harris Administration is ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “The projects announced today cement this Administration’s state-based efforts to support the nation’s auto workforce and communities, all while strengthening domestic manufacturing and bolstering our energy security.”
“各州和地方政府将引领美国在推动全球清洁能源转型中的领导地位，拜登-哈里斯政府正在确保他们拥有成功所需的工具。”美国能源部长詹妮弗·M·格兰霍姆说道。“今天宣布的项目巩固了本届政府在州一级支持全国汽车劳动力和社区的努力，同时加强国内制造业并提升能源安全。”
Retooling Vehicle Manufacturing Facilities
升级汽车制造设施
Five states with significant automotive workforces have been selected to receive $50 million from the Inflation Reduction Act to invest in upgrading auto facilities to serve growing vehicle markets. States will collaborate with industry and stakeholders to determine needs and approaches to select SMMs to receive funding. Projects will bolster local manufacturing capacity serving the electric, hybrid, or fuel cell vehicle supply chains and retain good paying jobs in these states. This funding is made possible by the Department’s $2 billion Domestic Automotive Manufacturing Conversion Grant program.
五个拥有大量汽车劳动力的州被选定从《通胀削减法案》中获得5000万美元，用于升级汽车设施以服务于增长的汽车市场。这些州将与行业和相关方合作，确定需求和方法，为SMMs选择资金分配。项目将增强当地制造能力，服务于电动、混合动力或燃料电池汽车供应链，同时保留这些州的高薪工作岗位。这笔资金来源于能源部20亿美元的国内汽车制造转换拨款项目。

Increasing Battery Recycling
提升电池回收
Seven states and local governments were also selected for negotiation of award to receive $11.5 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds as part of the second round of MESC’s State and Local Battery Recycling program. These selections will work closely with state and local governments to make battery recycling more accessible for consumers, reducing waste and improving the nation’s battery recycling landscape.
七个州和地方政府也被选中参与奖项谈判，将获得1,150万美元的《两党基础设施法案》资金，作为MESC州和地方电池回收计划第二轮的一部分。这些项目将与州和地方政府紧密合作，让消费者更方便地进行电池回收，减少废弃物并改善全国电池回收格局。

Accelerating Smart Manufacturing
加速智能制造
Five states were also selected for negotiation of award to receive $9.3 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as part of the second round of the State Manufacturing Leadership Program. Under the State Manufacturing Leadership Program, DOE is partnering with states to establish programs that accelerate the adoption of smart manufacturing and high-performance computing technologies across SMMs.
五个州也被选中参与奖项谈判，将从《两党基础设施法案》中获得930万美元，作为州制造领导计划第二轮的一部分。根据该计划，能源部将与各州合作，建立加速SMMs采用智能制造和高性能计算技术的项目。
These new selections will build on the twelve round 1 awards and expand SMMs access to beneficial resources such as technical assistance, training, facility assessments, apprenticeships, and financial assistance.
这些新项目将在第一轮十二个获奖项目的基础上，扩大SMMs对技术支持、培训、设施评估、学徒计划和财政援助等资源的获取。
“Smart manufacturing” refers to the use of emerging and advanced technologies to increase the efficiency of traditional manufacturing processes. By adopting smart manufacturing technologies, small- and medium-sized manufacturing firms can lower costs, increase energy efficiency and performance, reduce material demand, and improve product quality.
“智能制造”是指通过使用新兴和先进技术来提高传统制造工艺的效率。采用智能制造技术的中小型制造企业可以降低成本，提高能源效率和性能，减少材料需求并改善产品质量。

Selection for award negotiations is not a commitment by DOE to issue an award or provide funding. Before funding is issued, DOE and the applicants will undergo a negotiation process, and DOE will complete environmental review. DOE may cancel negotiations and rescind the selection for any reason during that time.
入围奖项谈判并不等同于能源部承诺授予奖项或提供资金。在资金拨付之前，能源部和申请方将进行谈判，并完成环境审查。在此期间，能源部可因任何原因取消谈判并撤销入围资格。
