Request for Information (RFI) DE-FOA-0001512: Accounting Conventions for Non-Combustible Renewable Energy: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the proposed modification to the accounting of renewable energy (RE) source energy. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) proposes to replace the “fossil-fuel equivalency” approach with the alternative “captured energy” approach described below. This would impact the site-to-source ratios used in analyses that inform EERE reports, standards, and evaluations. This methodological choice is important as renewable generation continues to grow and accounts for more significant portions of the nation’s electricity production. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications, and no financial assistance is being provided. Please see the full RFI DE-FOA-0001512 “Accounting Conventions for Non-Combustible Renewable Energy” document in EERE Exchange at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.

EERE seeks feedback on using an alternative methodology for calculating source energy from non-combustible renewable resources in analysis that informs EERE products, reports, and standards – such as the Home Energy Score. The current “fossil-fuel equivalency” approach uses the equivalent average heat rate of fossil fuels to convert renewable electricity to source energy (approximately 9,500 BTU/kWh), while the proposed “captured energy” approach would use the heat content of electricity (3,412 BTU/kWh). This proposed change would better represent the lack of fuels used in generating renewable electricity, and would result in a slightly lower site-to-source ratio than the current approach.
