Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility: All types of domestic applicants are eligible to apply, except other Federal agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.
Grant Description: The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) announces a funding opportunity for cooperative agreements from the Office of the Biomass Program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being issued under authorization of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005, Section 932. Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 within Title XIII, Energy Policy Tax Incentives cited in EPAct and sections 1345 and 1346 (renewable fuel and biodiesel credits) of EPAct provide additional impetus and credit enhancements for potential applicants to respond to this announcement. Approximately $53,000,000 is expected to be available in FY07 for new awards under this announcement, subject to the availability of appropriated funds in FY07. Funding in Fiscal Years 08 and 09 will be subject to the availability of appropriated funds in each of those fiscal years. This FOA requests applications to design, construct, build and operate an integrated biorefinery employing lignocellulosic feedstocks for the production of combinations of (i) liquid transportation fuels; (ii) biobased chemicals; (iii) substitutes for petroleum-based feedstocks and products; and (iv) energy in the form of electricity or useful heat. Per Section 932, the use of a wide variety of lignocellulosic feedstocks is encouraged as well as inclusion of technology to collect and treat this wide variety of biomass feedstocks. EPAct also specifies that lignocellulosic feedstocks may include a wide range of possible materials, but not those biomass components specifically grown for food. Hence applications proposing biomass grown for food such as starch or protein, including animal food, would be considered non-compliant. Also, this FOA does not address item (e) within Section 932, the University Biodiesel Program. To support DOEs goals, it is expected that biorefineries proposed under this FOA will be operational within three to four years. Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award. Questions regarding the content of the announcement should be submitted through the Submit Question feature of the DOE Industry Interacitve Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov.
