DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Golden Field Office; Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of
Financial Assistance
AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of solicitation number DE-PS36-99GO10383, broad based
solicitation for submission of financial assistance applications
involving research, development, and demonstration for renewable energy
and energy efficiency technologies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE) has a continuing interest in receiving applications for grants
and cooperative agreements supporting renewable energy and energy
efficiency basic research, directed and applied research, cooperative
demonstrations, and related activities. The Broad Based Solicitation
will provide specific information and will consist of two parts: the
first part is generic and will consist of guidelines and requirements
for submitting applications; the second part will be specific to
designated program areas of interest and will consist of individual
supplemental announcements issued at a later date. These individual
supplemental announcements will contain technology specific
information, anticipated programmatic funding levels, eligibility
requirements, evaluation criteria, any cost sharing requirements,
application deadlines, and any other requirements specific to the
supplemental announcements.
Notices of release of the detailed supplemental announcements will
be published separately in the Federal Register as they become
available. It is anticipated that the initial supplemental
announcements will be in the following program areas: (1) Innovative
technologies that will increase the efficiency or lower the cost of
producing and converting biomass to transportation fuels; (2)
demonstration programs to obtain operational data regarding alternative
fuel and advanced technologies for use by fleet managers in making
vehicle acquisition decisions; (3) research, development and
demonstration of innovative concepts applicable to trucks and other
heavy vehicles so they can be more energy efficient and able to use
alternative fuels while simultaneously reducing emissions; (4) the use
of artificial intelligence techniques to synthesize and extract
patterns of heavy-duty truck performance under a variety of real-world
operating conditions from real-time operational data on fuel
efficiency, cost effectiveness, and emissions of heavy-duty trucks; (5)
component technology development in the areas of hydrogen production,
storage, and utilization; and (6) geothermal technology innovation in
the areas of drilling, energy conversion, fracture detection and
analysis, heat recovery systems, by-product recovery, and waste
management.
All information regarding the solicitation will be posted on the
DOE Golden Field Office Home page at the address identified below.
DATES: DOE expects to issue the first part of the Solicitation the week
of November 9, 1998.
ADDRESSES: The first part of the Solicitation will be posted on the DOE
Golden Field Office Home Page at http://www.eren.doe.gov/golden/
