This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) aims to expand the Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s (DOE FECM’s) carbon management portfolio through support for research and development (R&D) projects in the programmatic areas of Carbon Conversion, Carbon Dioxide Removal, Point Source Carbon Capture, and Carbon Storage. Additional details can be found at FedConnect.
Amendment 000001 :(06/09/2022) Modification 000001 was issued to revise the following:
- Correct a typo on Page 50. Change highlighted in yellow highlight.
- Appendix B – AOI-2 Carbon Dioxide Removal Technology, AOI-2C – Initial Engineering Design Studies for Advanced Carbon Capture Systems at Existing Power Plants Utilizing Sustainably-Sourced Biomass was revised. DOE will now consider applications to design modular carbon capture systems of smaller capacities to be deployed over a fleet of multiple existing biomass power plants operated by the same company for a cumulative capacity of at least 500,000 net tonnes CO2e per year. The scope of work must include CO2 capture system designs, site-specific considerations for CO2 capture integration, and balance of plant designs for each of the existing biomass power plants proposed. Changes shown in yellow highlight and strikethrough in Appendix B.
- “Long duration carbon storage” requirements were replaced with “secure geologic carbon storage.” Changes shown in yellow highlight and strikethrough in Section I (pages 15 & 17), Section V (pages 63- 64), and Appendix B.
