The solicitation was RFP # EPA-OAR-CCD-08-01: "Activities that Advance Methane Recovery and Use as a Clean Energy Source."
The total estimated amount for this competitive funding opportunity was estimated at up to $7,000,000. The estimated project period for awards is September 2008 through September 2011.
The deadline for applications was February 22, 2008. EPA received more than 80 excellent proposals requesting more than $35 million in funding. EPA thanks everyone who participated in this solicitation for the hard work put into all the proposals the Agency received.
