ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the REMADE Institute announced the selection of 12 projects dedicated to improving the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. Magdi Azer, REMADE's Chief Technology Officer, stated, "The selection process was highly competitive. We received many comprehensive submissions that addressed our technical focus areas.

Founded in May 2017, and partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, REMADE is a Manufacturing USA® institute. In partnership with industry, academia and national labs, the REMADE Institute enables early-stage applied research and development of technologies that could dramatically reduce the embodied energy and carbon emissions associated with industrial-scale materials production and processing.
Efficiencies gained from these technologies have the potential to save 400 TBtus of energy, improve U.S. economic competitiveness through innovative new manufacturing techniques and offer new training and jobs for American workers.
In total, the REMADE Institute has 31 projects selected for award, totaling nearly $15 million in value.
