DE-FOA-0003517 Notice of Intent to Issue DE-FOA-0003518 and DE-FOA-0003520
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), two Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs):
1. DE-FOA-0003518, entitled “Sustainable Propane and Renewable Chemicals (SPARC)”; and 2. DE-FOA-0003520, entitled “Maximizing Algal System Yield (MASY).” These NOFOs support BETO’s research and development (R&D) priorities in the areas of (a) Conversion and (b) Renewable Carbon Resources (RCR).
It is anticipated that the NOFOs may include the following Areas of Interest:
DE-FOA-0003518 SPARC NOFO:
Sustainable Propane and Renewable Chemicals SPARC NOFO Topic Area 1:
Bio-based Chemicals Producing chemicals from renewable feedstocks helps to secure domestic supply chains, support rural economies, and improve sustainability in the industry.
However, adoption of new chemical production pathways is challenging due to complex supply chains with many different stakeholders and the need for extensive product quality testing for new processes.
SPARC NOFO Topic Area 2:
Bio-based Propane/LPG SPARC Topic Area 2 seeks to develop new production pathways to produce sustainable liquefied propane and/or petroleum gases from a variety of biomass and waste resources including municipal waste, agricultural residues, forest resources and fats, oils, and grease.
Topic Area 2 will support multiple conversion routes to produce propane and LPG.
DE-FOA-0003520 MASY NOFO:
Maximizing Algal System Yield The MASY NOFO seeks applications to address ’pinch points’ in algal system operations that currently limit expansion of algae as a domestic bioenergy feedstock.
Developing algal systems that use photosynthetic growth of algae (micro-, macro-, and cyanobacteria) is an important component of BETO’s strategy.
EERE plans to issue the NOFOs in or around January 2025 via the EERE eXCHANGE website https://eere-eXCHANGE.energy.gov/.
If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding these NOFOs, they should register in EERE eXCHANGE.
When the NOFOs are released, applications will be accepted only through EERE eXCHANGE.
