Please scroll to the bottom of this page under the heading Full Announcement and Other Files and click on the link to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement and associated files. This Funding Opportunity Announcement for Restructured FutureGen solicits cost-shared applications to advance coal-based power generation technologies that capture and store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2). The Restructured FutureGen program is a cost-shared collaboration between the Government and industry to accelerate commercial deployment of very low, or near-zero, emissions Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) or other advanced clean coal-based power generation technology with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Under the Restructured FutureGen criteria, a demonstration unit must be designed, constructed, and operated, on an annual average basis, with at least 50 percent of the energy output used to produce electricity. A gasification-based project must produce at least 300 megawatts of gross electricity output and at least 250 megawatts of net electricity output, while a non-gasification project must be at a commercially viable size. In addition, the projects must be designed to achieve approximately 90 percent capture of carbon content in the syngas or flue gas and must achieve a minimum capture rate of 81 percent. Projects must also " Remove at least 90 percent of mercury emissions based on mercury content of the coal. " Remove at least 99 percent of sulfur emissions based on sulfur content of the coal. " Reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions to very low levels. To ensure safe and permanent storage of captured CO2, selected projects must meet a number of monitoring and verification requirements. These include " Quantifying and assessing CO2 capture, transport, and storage for the duration of a 3 5 year demonstration. " Monitoring the injected CO2 for a minimum of 2 years after injection ends and reporting the results to DOE. " Developing information to estimate costs of future CO2 management systems. DOE expects to invest between $100 million and $600 million per project, with $290 million available for incremental funding selected projects through fiscal year 2009 and an additional $1.01 billion available in subsequent years. Applications submitted in response to the FOA must be submitted via Grants.gov. You cannot submit an application through Grants.gov unless you are registered. Please read the registration requirements carefully and start the process immediately. Applicants who are not registered with CCR and Grants.gov should allow at least 21 days for completing these requirements. It is suggested that the process be started as soon as possible. All comments and questions must be submitted through the Submit Question feature in IIPS. Parties interested in the Restructured FutureGen Program are encouraged to join the mailing list to receive notification of any important updates to the FOA.
