REVOLUTIONARY BIOMASS SUPPLY SYSTEMS SUPPORTING A BILLION TON BIOECONOMY
VISION Grant

http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=284456

 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE), Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) seeks feedback
from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and
other stakeholders on issues related to mobilizing biomass resources to
support a "billion-ton bioeconomy." Existing feedstock supply systems are
not adequate to reliably provide high-quality feedstock at the increasing
volumes demanded over the next few decades by a growing bioeconomy. Current
systems and technologies have limitations in providing uniform feedstocks
with specified composition, shape, size, and moisture characteristics. New
logistics and processing technologies and systems are needed to address
these challenges to support a growing biomass derived industry and
bioeconomy. Advanced systems in the future may involve central processing
and distribution centers such as feedstock depots or be stand-alone
operations. This RFI is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA);
therefore, EERE is not accepting applications at this time. EERE may issue a
FOA in the future based on or related to the content and responses to this
RFI; however, EERE may also elect not to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee
that a FOA will be issued as a result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI
does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if
EERE chooses to issue a FOA regarding the subject matter. Final details,
including the anticipated award size, quantity, and timing of EERE funded
awards, will be subject to Congressional appropriations and direction. Any
information obtained as a result of this RFI is intended to be used by the
Government on a non-attribution basis for planning and strategy development;
this RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or
abstracts. Your response to this notice will be treated as information only.
EERE will review and consider all responses in its formulation of program
strategies for the identified materials of interest that are the subject of
this request. EERE will not provide reimbursement for costs incurred in
responding to this RFI. Respondents are advised that EERE is under no
obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide
feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted under this
RFI. Responses to this RFI do not bind EERE to any further actions related
to this topic. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to
BETOAFSS at ee.doe.gov <mailto:BETOAFSS at ee.doe.gov>  no later than 5:00pm (ET)
on June 30, 2016. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It
is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed
(i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Responses must be provided as a
Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email, and no more than 5 pages in
length, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. Only electronic responses will be
accepted. Please identify your answers by responding to a specific question
or topic if applicable. Respondents may answer as many or as few questions
as they wish. The full Request for Information (RFI) is posted on the EERE
eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
