This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications to address carbon conversion challenges across multiple areas: engineering-scale electrochemical conversion and refinery/petrochemical facility retrofits. Research and development in electrochemical conversion will address the challenge of extending system durability to a point where further scale-up is warranted under future efforts. Feasibility studies of refinery and petrochemical facility retrofits will examine pathways for retrofitting of facilities for carbon utilization and production of value-added products. It is anticipated that responses and results of these studies could inform follow-on funding opportunities to advance proposed retrofit or renovations for carbon conversion. Instructions for this FOA can be found at FedConnect.
Modification 000001: The purpose of this modification is to update wording within the Topic Area descriptions to clarify the Funding Opportunity Announcement does not restrict conversion of carbon oxides, change instances of "CO2" to "carbon" throughout the Funding Opportunity Announcement, and clarify the medium-term test requirement for Topic Area 1.
