AMO is particularly interested in the challenges associated with advanced manufacturing technology which might be overcome by pre-competitive collaborations conducted via a Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute. AMO recently completed a broad RFI on this topic area. The intent of this RFI is to narrow the focus of a possible Clean Energy Manufacturing Institute and invite discussion on a set of the following specific focus areas. The Topical/Technical Focus Areas under consideration in this RFI are: Advanced Materials Manufacturing (AMM); Advanced Sensing, Control, and Platforms for Manufacturing (ASCPM); High-Efficiency Modular Chemica l Processes (HEMCP)...
