    Golden Field Office; Innovative Technologies for Conversion of 
    Biomass to Transportation Fuels: Supplemental Announcement (02)
    
    AGENCY: Golden Field Office, Department of Energy (DOE).
    
    ACTION: Notice of Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of Financial 
    Assistance Applications Involving Research, Development, and 
    Demonstration for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technologies, 
    DE-PS36-99GO10383.

    SUMMARY: The Office of Fuels Development of the Department of Energy's 
    (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is 
    supporting the issuance of this Supplemental Announcement to EERE's 
    Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of Financial Assistance 
    Applications Involving Research, Development and Demonstration, DE-
    PS36-99GO10383, dated November 9, 1998. Under the Supplemental 
    Announcement, DOE is soliciting applications to support innovative 
    technologies that will increase the efficiency or lower the cost of 
    producing and converting biomass to transportation fuels. The Office of 
    Fuels Development formulates, executes, and coordinates a balanced and 
    customer-focused national program of research, development, and 
    demonstration of technologies for the production of transportation 
    fuels from biomass. The biomass resources considered include 
    agricultural residues, forestry wastes, and crops grown specifically 
    for energy applications. Proposals are sought in areas of innovative 
    research and development of the following: plants capable of high 
    biomass yields; systems
    
    [[Page 1189]]
    
    for culture, harvests, and handling of these high yielding plants; 
    enzymes and fermentation organisms for the production of ethanol from 
    biomass; approaches for converting cellulosic biomass to ethanol. 
    Awards under this Supplemental Announcement will be Cooperative 
    Agreements with a term of up to 12 months. Subject to funding 
    availability, it is anticipated the total DOE funding available under 
    this Supplemental Announcement will be $600,000, with individual awards 
    not to exceed $150,000 of DOE funding. A minimum Cost Share of 20% of 
    the total project cost is required under this Supplemental 
    Announcement.
        All information regarding the Supplemental Announcement will be 
    posted on the DOE Golden Field Office Home page at the address 
    identified below.
    
    DATES: DOE expects to issue the Supplemental Announcement the week of 
    December 7, 1998. The closing date of the Supplemental Announcement is 
    January 29, 1999.
    
    ADDRESSES: The Supplemental Announcement will be posted on the DOE 
    Golden Field Office Home Page at http://www.eren.doe.gov/golden/
    solicit.htm. It is DOE's intention not to issue hard copies of the 
    Supplemental Announcement.
