Description
Amendment 000001: The purpose of this amendment is to remove the Risk Mitigation Plan for Topic Areas 1b and 1c; update Appendix G - Acceptable Feedstocks, to correct an error and reconcile Topic Area 3a requirements with the text of the FOA; and update Appendix H - Supplemental Content Requirements and Instructions. See FOA DE-FOA-0002396/00001 for details.The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) develops technologies that convert domestic biomass and other waste resources into fuels, products, and power to enable affordable energy, economic growth, and innovation in renewable energy and chemicals production – the bioeconomy. The activities supported by BETO are authorized by Public Law 109–58, TITLE IX, § 932, which authorizes the Secretary of Energy to establish a program of research and development for bioenergy with the goal of price-competitive biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower made from biomass-based feedstocks – see section I.E for details. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support high-impact technology research and development (R&D) to enable growth and innovation to accelerate the bioeconomy by requesting applications across the entire scope of BETO’s mission space.The United States has the potential to produce more than one billion tons of sustainable biomass, which can be used to produce renewable fuels for cars, trucks, and jets; renewable chemicals; and renewable power to supply the grid. Leveraging waste streams can further enhance this potential. The activities supported by BETO’s funding for this opportunity will be a component of the comprehensive U.S. energy strategy to enhance energy supply, create domestic jobs, secure the nation’s global leadership in bioenergy technologies, and increase U.S. energy resources. These efforts support the growth of the U.S. bioeconomy.As part of DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), BETO invests in high-impact, high-value technology development activities to produce bioenergy and products from terrestrial and algal biomass and other waste streams such as biogas, waste carbon dioxide, and waste plastics that industry would be unable to pursue independently due to the high level of risk and technological uncertainty. BETO focuses on applied R&D to bolster the body of scientific and engineering knowledge that can enable industry to demonstrate and deploy high-performing drop-in biofuels and renewable chemicals at $2.50 per gallon gasoline equivalent (GGE) by 2030.2 This FOA will provide funding to address BETO’s highest priority R&D areas. It includes Topic Areas from two BETO programs: Conversion Technologies and Systems Development & Integration. Each Topic Area supports BETO’s objectives to reduce the minimum selling price of drop-in biofuels, lower the cost of biopower, and enable high-value products from biomass or waste resources.An informational webinar will be held on April 16th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ET. The webinar will review the Funding Opportunity Announcement and Merit Review process, but will only discuss Topic Area 1: Scale-up of Biotechnologies specific requirements due to the complex nature of the topic area. Please note, there are no particular advantages or disadvantages to the application evaluation process with respect to participating in the webinar. Your participation is completely voluntary.
