How is Paper Programs related to Dynamicland?
Paper Programs recreates just a tiny part of what makes Dynamicland so interesting. To learn more about their system and vision, be sure to visit Dynamicland in Oakland -- and please consider donating, too!
Paper Programs is inspired by the projector and camera setup of the 2017 iteration of Dynamicland. I liked how you could physically hold a program in your hands, and then put on any surface in the building, where it would start executing, as if by magic. And I liked how people naturally started collaborating, writing programs that interact with each other.
In contrast, Dynamicland is a community space designed around Realtalk. Realtalk is a research operating system (in development for several years) designed to bring computation into the physical world. It is more general than papers, projectors, and cameras. Dynamicland is intended as a new medium of human communication, and is designed to be learned and used by a community of people interacting face-to-face, not over the internet.
In short, Paper Programs gets you a limited version of the interaction model of Dynamicland, but not the other parts: Paper Programs Dynamicland Platform Chrome with experimental flags enabled Realtalk OS Contributors People with spare time Dedicated research team
How does Paper Programs work?
Programs are stored on a server (using Node.js and PostgreSQL), hosted on paperprograms.org. Each program has a number, and the dots on the paper encode that number. Currently each corner is uniquely identified with 5 dots of 5 possible colours, which means you can have about 600 unique papers currently (this is a significant limitation).
Projection and execution of programs happens in a separate browser window. Each program runs asynchronously in a Web Worker, and can request access to a canvas, coordinates of other programs, and so on.
Then there is an editor page, which anyone in the space with a laptop or tablet can use to edit programs, using Monaco. When having created a new program, you can click a print button to print out a new paper that runs that program. It has the program text printed on the paper itself. Any edited program can be reverted to its original state.
DOE has posted a 48C Round 1 Best Practices document to assist potential applicants with understanding why they may have been denied a credit in Round 1 and with addressing common issues to ensure high quality concept papers and applications that comply with 48C requirements and applicable guidance, as described in IRS Notice 2024-36.
DOE 48C Portal opens for concept paper submission on May 22, 2024. Concept paper submission is the first required step in the application process. A concept paper must be submitted to be eligible to submit the full application. The new concept paper templates (Clean Energy and Critical Materials Manufacturing and Recycling Projects - Updated and Industrial Decarbonization Projects - Updated) and datasheet document are available to preview and start collecting the needed information to submit a concept paper. Should any discrepancy occur between the document posted here and the documents in the 48C portal, the ones in the portal override. Concept paper submissions are due June 21, 2024 by 5 pm EST.
The Concept Paper PDF templates were updated as of June 10, 2024 to align with the formatting requirements in Notice 2024-36. No substantive changes were made and applicants who submitted their concept paper prior to June 10, 2024 are NOT expected or required to resubmit with the revised template.
Concept papers and applications will be evaluated across multiple criteria and policy factors, including (1) commercial viability; (2) greenhouse gas emissions impacts; (3) strengthening U.S. supply chains and domestic manufacturing for a net-zero economy; and (4) workforce and community engagement.
Approximately $2.5 billion of this second allocation round will be set aside for projects in designated 48C(e) energy communities, which includes communities with closed coal mines or coal plants (see Appendix C of IRS Notice 2024-36 for the list of designated census tracts). The program will provide an investment tax credit of up to 30% of qualified investments for certified projects that meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
Section 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts are census tracts in which (1) no pre-IRA 48C projects were located and (2) a coal mine has closed after December 31, 1999 or a coal-fired electric generating unit has been retired after December 31, 2009 or which is directly adjoining to any of these census tracts.
The 48C Portal is open for registration for any interested applicants, including small-, medium- and large-sized manufacturers. The 48C Portal opens for concept paper submission on May 22, 2024. Applicants must submit their concept papers through the 48C portal prior to 5 pm on June 21, 2024. The 48C Portal will being accepting full applications from organizations that submitted concept papers in the summer of 2024.
Templates available to preview and start collecting the needed information to submit a concept paper. Applicants must submit a completed PDF template for their relevant project category and a completed datasheet. These templates are provided to facilitate the public's access to these documents. Should any discrepancy occur between the document posted here and the documents in the 48C portal, the ones in the portal override.
The Concept Paper PDF templates were updated as of June 10,2024 to align with the formatting requirements in Notice 2024-36. No substantive changes were made and applicants who submitted their concept paper prior to June 10, 2024 are NOT expected or required to resubmit with the revised template.
DOE and Treasury hosted a virtual informational webinar for potential applicants on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

Are you interested in supporting the implementation of this impactful program? The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains has exciting opportunities to contribute to the 48C Tax Credit Program Application merit review process. The 48C Tax Credit Program aims to play a critical role to create high-quality jobs, reduce industrial emissions, and increase domestic production of critical clean energy products and materials.
To implement this mission, we need support from a diverse group of people with expertise in commercialization, supply chains, industrial decarbonization, and workforce and community engagement. Because the scope of the 48C program spans multiple technologies and industries in areas such as clean energy manufacturing, critical minerals and industrial decarbonization, we also need support from experts across different technical areas.
Expected to review the application section that focus on their area of expertise (e.g., commercial viability, supply chain, workforce and community engagement) and provide their score for the merit review criterion, as well as providing comment on strengths and weaknesses.
They will have access to the analysis prepared by Special Purpose Reviewers and, if needed, suggest additional analysis to help with their review. Each application will be reviewed by four Super Reviewers, one for each merit review criterion.
These reviewers are expected to be senior subject matter experts in respective technology areas, with broad understanding of the commercial viability, supply chains, general workforce practices for the specific technology areas.
All reviewers are required to sign the Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) and Conflict of Interest and Foreign Government-Sponsored Talent Recruitment Program Involvement forms, in addition to IRS Data Privacy forms.
The Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C) program was established by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and expanded with a $10 billion investment under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Advanced Energy Project Credit provides a tax credit for investments in advanced energy projects, as defined in 26 USC 48C(c)(1).
The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, in partnership with DOE, have announced up to $4 billion in a first round of tax credits for projects that expand clean energy manufacturing and recycling and critical materials refining, processing and recycling, and for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions at industrial facilities.
Approximately $1.6 billion of this allocation will be set aside for projects in designated energy communities. The program will provide an investment tax credit of up to 30% of qualified investments for certified projects that meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
