ECA Staff | 5/28/2021
Today the White House released President Biden's FY 2022 budget request, which calls for $46.2 billion in funding for the Department of Energy (DOE), a 10 percent increase above the FY 2021 level.
The new DOE budget request emphasizes investments in clean energy, including $1 billion for a new Advanced Research Projects Agency for Climate (ARPA-C) and $2.1 billion for the Office of Nuclear Energy.
The President's budget also recommends a slight increase in Defense Environmental Cleanup funding, for a total of $6.8 billion, and a slight increase for Non-Defense Environmental Cleanup, for a total of $338 million.
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) would receive $20 billion under the President's budget proposal.
View a breakdown of the FY 2022 budget request here.
ECA will provide a detailed analysis of the President's budget and how it compares to FY 2021 levels next week.
