Funding-Co-Production
of Power, Fuels, and Chemicals via Coal/Biomass Mixtures; May 28, 2010
Agency
National
Energy Technology Laboratory
Description
The
proposed action supports the DOE Office of Fossil Energy Clean Coal Technology Program
and its mission to ensure the availability of ultra-clean, abundant, low cost,
domestic energy (including hydrogen) to fuel economic prosperity, strengthen
energy security and enhance environmental quality. The required activities will
support the NETL Fuels/Hydrogen Program Area goal to develop advanced and novel
technologies that will ensure the use of our nation's abundant coal (and
biomass) resources to produce affordable power, fuels and chemicals in a safe
and environmentally clean manner. Applications to this Funding opportunity
announcement are sought for R&D projects that will address key challenges
related to the utilization of coal-biomass mixtures for co-production of power
and hydrogen, fuels, and/or chemicals. Applicants may only respond to one topic
per application. Multiple applications from the same applicant are permitted
and teaming within a single application is also permitted. State
clearly in the application which topic is being addressed. Proposals are
sought for R&D in the following three topic areas: Topic Area 1:
Pre-processing and Conditioning of Coal/Biomass Mixtures for Simultaneous
Co-Feeding Systems Topic Area 2: Reactive Properties of coal/biomass mixed
fuels. Topic Area 3: Design concepts for Co-Production of Power, Fuels, and
Chemicals
