Synopsis of Program: The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Office of Industrial Technologies (ITP) seeks applications for cost-shared Research, Development, and Demonstration projects to reduce the energy and carbon intensity of industrial processes.  The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund cost-shared R&D projects to develop innovative technologies that when deployed commercially, will enable the US industry to reduce natural gas requirements for chemical feedstocks, increase utilization of opportunity fuels, and expand the use of combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to seek cost shared applications in three (3) Areas of Interest.

1. Fuel Flexibility [DE-PS26-08NT0004312-01]
2. Feedstock flexibility in the chemical industry [DE-PS26-08NT0004312-02]
3. Clean Distributed Generation [DE-PS26-08NT0004312-03]

Synopsis of Program: The Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences announces the initiation of Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) to accelerate the rate of scientific breakthroughs needed to create advanced energy technologies for the 21st century. The EFRCs will pursue the fundamental understanding necessary to meet the global need for abundant, clean, and economical energy. The Office of Basic Energy Sciences is seeking applications for the establishment of EFRCs that will bring together the skills and talents of multiple investigators to enable fundamental research of a scope and complexity that would not be possible with the standard individual investigator or small group research project. As such, the EFRCs will strengthen and complement the existing portfolio of the single Principal Investigator and small group research projects currently supported within BES core research areas. The EFRC awards are expected to be in the $2-5 million range annually for an initial five-year project period. It is anticipated that approximately $100 million will be available annually for multiple EFRC awards starting in FY 2009.
