(FOA)-RFI:
Strategies for Improving or Creating Emission Reduction Technology and Byproduct
Utilization
for Hazardous Substances Resulting from Coal Combustion (DE-FOA-0002109); May

Agency
Description
The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through
the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has released a Request for Information ONLY
titled “Strategies for Improving or Creating Emission Reduction
Technology and Byproduct Utilization for Hazardous Substances Resulting from
Coal Combustion”, DE-FOA-0002109. The
purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is for strategies
for improving or creating emission-reduction or utilization technologies for
hazardous substances resulting from coal combustion. DOE is seeking
information that may assist in formulating strategies for the reduction of
hazardous materials and waste streams, including approaches involving
containment and/or isolation. Waste streams of interest include those
affecting air, water, and solid waste (by-product) disposal areas. DOE is
also interested in learning about technological strategies to improve management
of coal ash ponds, such as by-product management facilities, ponds, and
landfills. Responses to this RFI should provide an understanding of the state of
the art and the potential benefits from the next generation of
emission-reduction technologies, including removal or containment strategies,
and by-product utilization strategies, for current and future coal-fired utility
and industrial applications in the following areas:
1.
Cost-effective
reduction of risks and impacts associated with ash
containment
2.
Hazardous
substance removal or isolation from waste streams
3.
Enhancement
of design and operating practices to optimize plant performance with respect to
cost-effective operation with minimal environmental impact
4.
Creation
of pathways for the production of value-added products from coal combustion
residues.
This
is solely a request for information and is not a Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA).
