The Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) seeks to accelerate the commercial deployment of advanced coal technologies to help supply the United States with clean, abundant, and affordable energy. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: January 15, 2009. The Department of Energy (DOE) anticipates making multiple awards under this FOA and, depending on fiscal year 2009 appropriations, may be able to provide up to $340 million to be distributed among selected recipients. The projects will be cost-shared, with the award recipient(s) providing at least 50 percent of funds for the project. The solicitation contemplates cooperative agreements between the government and industry to demonstrate, at commercial scale, new technologies that capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants and either sequester the CO2 or put it to beneficial use. Applications must be filed via Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov. Full funding announcement is available online.
