Demonstration of integrated Biorefinery Operations for Producing Biofuels and Chemical/Materials Products: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is one of two announcements supporting Section 932 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The FOA, DE-PS36-06GO96016, was announced for applications to design, construct, build and operate, at the commercial scale, an integrated biorefinery employing lignocellulosic feedstocks. Its thrust was commercial demonstration rather than research and development for all products listed in Section 932. In contrast, DE-PS36-07GO97003 is open to applicants with projects that may include R D to design, construct, and operate a one-tenth scale facility that would be a prototype of a full-scale commercial operation. Applicants who propose a scale smaller than 10% of commercial may be considered if the applicant provides clear and detailed evidence of a successful track record in commercializing similar novel processes based on demonstration facilities operated at a scale smaller than 10% of full commercial. 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 Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov.
