Critical Materials Future Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Energy to create a pilot program within 180 days to support at least 3 projects in the United States that refine, process, or recycle critical materials. The program would use financial tools such as contracts for difference, price floors, and forward contracts, and would support at least 3 different critical materials, with no single material receiving more than half of the program's funding. Projects using materials from domestic or allied sources would get priority, and the program would end within 5 years. The bill would create a Critical Materials Revolving Fund to reinvest money earned from projects, require annual reports and a final study, and authorize $750 million.
