SUMMARY: The Geothermal Energy Program of the Department of Energy's
(DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is
issuing a 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, the Geothermal Energy
Program is soliciting applications to identify, examine, and evaluate
innovative ideas with a significant potential to reduce the cost of
geothermal technology or increase economic geothermal resources through
cost-shared research and development activities. The DOE Geothermal
Energy Program consists primarily of research, development, and field
validation to reduce the cost of using geothermal energy in all its
forms. Its mission is to work in partnership with U.S. industry to
establish geothermal energy as a sustainable, environmentally sound,
economically competitive contributor to the U.S. and world energy
supply. Research proposals are sought for evaluation of the scientific
feasibility, technical merit and commercial potential of ideas in the
following topical areas: drilling; energy conversion; fracture
detection and analysis; heat recovery systems; and by-product recovery
and waste management. Awards under this Supplemental Announcement will
be Cooperative Agreements for Phase I research with a term of up to 12
months. Subject to funding availability, the total DOE funding
available under this Supplemental Announcement will be $300,000, with
individual awards not to exceed $75,000 of DOE funding.
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
