Lab & Bench-Scale Applications for R&D of Transformational CO2 Capture: This Funding Opportunity Announcement seeks to develop transformational technologies for CO2 capture and purification at the lab scale, Technology Readiness Level TRL 3-4, through bench scale, TRL 5, for PC and IGCC power plants, and the transfer and or creation of solutions for coal-relevant, low concentration CO2 sources in the range of 1-5 percent CO2 that will expand the application of CO2 capture to more challenging, yet significant, sources of CO2. The overall technical goal is to advance CO2 capture and separation systems beyond 2nd Generation economic performance predictions. Applications are sought for transformational technologies, which are defined as those that make progress towards meeting overall fossil energy performance goals of 90 percent CO2 capture rate with 95 percent CO2 purity at a cost of electricity 30 percent less than baseline capture approaches. Solutions proposed are expected to overcome limitations of singular, standard gas
treatment systems, such as those based on solvents, sorbents or membranes alone. Hybrid systems, intensified processes and novel capture concepts are highly encouraged.
