Funding-DOE - Intent to Issue FOA: Targeted Algal Biofuels and Bioproducts; September 30, 2014
Agency
Department

Description
The
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends
to issue, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001162, entitled “Targeted Algal Biofuels
and Bioproducts (TABB)”. The TABB FOA seeks to reduce
the cost of algal biofuels. BETOs 2019 projected state of technology (SOT) for
the cost of algal biofuels is modeled at about $7 per gallon gasoline gallon equipvalent (gge) without
valuable co-products. The TABB FOA will support work at bench and process
development scales to develop valuable co-products, crop protection, and CO2
utilization strategies. BETO expects the TABB FOA to result in modeled algal
biofuel costs of less than $5 gge by 2019. This will
provide alternative, nearer-term pathways to achieve BETOs goal of $3 gge advanced algal biofuels validation by 2030. This Notice
is issued so that interested parties are aware of the EEREs intention to issue
this FOA in the near term. All of the information contained in this Notice is subject
to change. EERE will not respond to questions concerning this Notice. This is a
Notice of Intent (NOI) only. EERE may issue a FOA as described herein, may
issue a FOA that is significantly different than the FOA described herein, or
DOE may not issue a FOA at all. Once the FOA has been released, EERE will
provide an avenue for potential Applicants to submit questions. NO APPLICATIONS
WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE. Please do not submit questions or respond
to this Notice of Intent. Prospective applicants to the FOA should begin
developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data in anticipation
of the issuance of this FOA. It is anticipated that this FOA will be posted to
EERE Exchange September 2014.
