Clean Coal Power Initiative - Round 3

The DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory has released a FOA for about $1.4 billion, with about $800 million of funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for multiple awards for advanced coal-based systems and subsystems that capture and sequester, or put to beneficial use, CO2 emissions.  This is an amendment to a previously issued FOA for the Clean Coal Power Initiative – Round 3 (DE-PS26-08NT43181).  Applicants that accept funds from the previous application deadline round of January 20, 2009, will not be considered for this solicitation.  Applicants who want to modify their submission from the January 20, 2009 closing date and submit under the August 24, 2009 closing date must submit a new application through FedConnect.

DOE’s goals in this Announcement are to demonstrate at commercial scale in a commercial setting technologies that (1) can achieve a minimum of 50% CO2 capture efficiency and make progress toward a target CO2 capture efficiency of 90% in a gas stream containing at least 10% by volume, 2) make progress toward capture and sequestration goal of less than 10% increase in the COE for gasification systems and less than 35% for combustion and oxycombustion systems, and (3) capture and sequester or put to beneficial use a minimum of 300,000 tons per year of  CO2 emissions

The cost share must be at least 50%.  Eligible applicants are all types of domestic entities, including companies, non-profits, institutions of higher education, and local and state governments.  Other Federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors are not eligible applicants, although FFRDCs can serve as subcontractors.
