Grant Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), through its Industrial Technologies Program, supports industries in their efforts to increase energy efficiency, reduce waste, and increase productivity. The goal of the Industrial Technologies Program is to accelerate the development and use of advanced energy efficient, renewable, and pollution prevention technologies that benefit industry, the environment, and U.S. energy security. This Funding Opportunity Announcement is commissioned on behalf of DOE?s Industrial Technologies Program - Technology Delivery. Technology Delivery was established to provide an implementing approach for the Industrial Technologies Program. The approach combines integrated delivery of energy-saving products, services, and technologies to the energy intensive industries. Additional information about Technology Delivery can be found on the website: http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices. Plant-wide assessment, an element of Technology Delivery, is a systematic approach to assess plant energy efficiency and identify opportunities for energy reduction in industrial facilities. It is anticipated that such an assessment would consist of at least two steps. The first is to assess which plant systems offer the greatest energy saving potential by compiling a profile of energy consumption. The second is to identify specific actions in each of the energy consuming systems. For a relatively low initial investment on the order of $100,000, prior experience has shown that companies can identify very significant reductions in annual energy costs from a combination of energy efficiency and productivity improvements and waste reductions. This announcement is the seventh in the series of announcements addressing plant wide energy efficiency opportunity assessments that will increase the market penetration of efficient energy technologies, systems, and practices across U.S. Industry. The objective of this annoucement is to continue partnership with energy intensive industries to identify new assessment approaches and methodologies that will lead to substantial improvements in industrial energy efficiency, enhanced competitiveness and reduced environmental impacts. DOE is interested in developing a portfolio of assessment methodologies that can be used by industries to identify energy efficiency opportunities in plants and a comprehensive list of energy efficiency actions that energy-intensive plants can consider to improve energy performance. In addition, DOE has developed energy assessment software tools, such as AIRMaster+, MotorMaster+, PSAT, 3E Plus and PHAST. Training on utilizing these tools may be provided by DOE for use in plant wide assessments. It is desired that the assessments cover a broad range of energy-intensive industries and assessment methods and do not duplicate assessments conducted under prior announcements (see Appendix C for a list of former assessments). Priority will be given to sites where the assessment is to be conducted and fall within the following energy intensive industries, namely: agriculture, aluminum, cement, chemicals, food processing, forest products, glass, metal castings, mining, petroleum refining, and steel. Proposals from other energy intensive industries will also be considered. Interested parties should access the DOE Golden Field Office Home Page at, http://www.go.doe.gov/funding.html, and access the announcement in the Industry Interactive Procurement Website (IIPS) by clicking on the Access link. The Golden Home Page also provides instructions on registering and submitting applicaitons in IIPS. DOE will not issue paper copies of the announcement.
