Grant 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
