Grant Description: NOTE: Please read the Master Funding Opportunity Announcement for complete details on application preparation instructions. The objective of this topic is to solicit Research and Development (R D) proposals to focus on developing novel technologies and/or process flow concepts for co-producing hydrogen and electricity. In the U.S., hydrogen is viewed as the fuel of choice for the transportation fleet as well as for central station power generation. During the transition to a sustainable hydrogen economy, coal is viewed as the key raw material for the production of hydrogen via gasification-based technologies. To reduce the cost of hydrogen and electricity while simultaneously achieving near-zero emissions of pollutants and being prepared to capture and sequester carbon dioxide, the DOE is interested in exploring novel hydrogen/electricity co-production processes to support the vision of a hydrogen economy. When incorporated into a Co-Production plant process configuration, the novel process concept and/or the novel technologies should provide a significant improvement in cost and performance over conventional technologies and process configurations already being investigated or considered for commercial deployment. The overall process benefit description must include: 1) the assumed cost of products, i.e., electricity and hydrogen, perhaps varying over time, 2) justification of these assumed costs, and 3) the expected scale of the commercial co-production plant and why this plant size is the most economical. The overall size of the gasification-based co-production plant shall be no smaller than 100 MWe equivalent in output. The process developed should approach the DOE goal to achieve a hydrogen cost of $0.80 per gallon of gasoline equivalent at the plant gate by 2015. (Estimated total available funds = up to $6,000,000 for Phases I and II, up to two projects, three to four years duration; up to $6,000,000 for Phase III, one project; two to three years duration)
