International Market Development

DOE aims to boost U.S. competitiveness in the global clean energy market, create domestic jobs, ensure secure supply chains, and expand international markets for U.S. clean energy products. This is achieved through project development, diplomatic outreach, and policy advocacy, positioning the U.S. and its allies to lead the $23 trillion global clean energy economy. The strategy involves leveraging U.S. advantages, identifying government and market mechanisms to innovate and commercialize energy technologies for net-zero economies, and fostering innovation partnerships.

International Market Development Workstreams

• DOE facilitates deployment of U.S. Energy technologies globally by supporting U.S. energy companies entering new markets. This includes identifying financing mechanisms to de-risk projects, serving as a government interlocutor in the process of winning contracts for major energy infrastructure projects, supporting offtake agreements, and assessing country energy sectors to identify technology opportunities.
• DOE’s industry engagement seeks to further strategic project development and help to represent U.S. energy industry and DOE equities in energy, trade, labor, and other policy making. This includes connecting U.S. companies with opportunities for exports, sources for inputs, and explaining opportunities for FDI in the United States.
• DOE works with stakeholders such as other Federal agencies, industry, and foreign governments to support energy security and national economic security by identifying and facilitating sustainable supplies of critical minerals and materials for energy manufacturing and operations.
• DOE seeks to ensure national and international standards support competitiveness of U.S. energy technology, supply chains, and manufacturing priorities, including through working with other federal agencies and with allies to support and use international best practices in energy and critical minerals and materials projects.
• DOE represents the interests of the U.S. energy sector in policy-making spaces, including to inform U.S. trade policy and its execution to protect national security, as well as USG and private sector investments.
