Grant Description: Program Area of Interest 3: Coal Fuels and Hydrogen Background: The Coal Fuels and Hydrogen program sponsors coal-based research directed toward developing: 1) processes to produce clean liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen; 2) more efficient processes for manufacturing carbon products and chemicals; and 3) advanced separation processes. Overall Program Goals Enhance the Nation apos;s energy security by sponsoring the development of technologies that offer the opportunity to produce affordable, clean liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen from coal. Provide the technical foundation for producing high value carbon products and chemicals from coal. Develop the underlying scientific and engineering principles relating to solid-solid and solid-liquid separations, especially as they are applied to the mining industry. Reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases from coal-based processes through life cycle engineering. Research Objectives for Program Area of Interest 3 Subtopics Program Area of Interest 3 has seven Subtopics: Subtopic 3A - Hydrogen Storage; Subtopic 3B - Production of High Hydrogen Content Coal - Derived Liquids; Subtopic 3C - Process Intensification; Subtopic 3D - Advanced Water-Gas Shift Membrane Reactor; Subtopic 3E - Advanced Solvents and Solid Sorbents - Based Separation Systems; Subtopic 3F - Advanced Fuels Research; and Subtopic 3G - Advanced Solid Separation Technologies. NOTE: The project narrative for Program Areas of Interest 1, 2 and 3 shall not exceed 30 pages (excluding the cover page and table of contents). Subtopic 3B: Production of High Hydrogen Content Coal - Derived Liquids Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-PS26-04NT42249-3B In an existing facility, or one in which the components can be readily integrated, provide the capability to produce approximately research quantities (up to 2 barrels day) of a Fischer-Tropsch type high hydrogen content liquid fuel from surrogate or actual coal-derived synthesis gas. Specifically, research applications shall address the following topics: In a bench- or small pilot-scale facility that includes a three-phase slurry reactor, produce research quantities of coal-derived Fischer-Tropsch liquids that would be suitable for reforming at distributed generation sites. Applications should include research on optimizing catalyst technology for coal-derived synthesis gas, producing and/or purchasing the catalyst, theoretical and experimental efforts on reactor/process optimization, gas cleanup, CO2 capture, fuel production, catalyst/wax separation and fuel upgrading to final product specifications, and reforming studies that specifically address synthesis gas-based high hydrogen content liquid fuels. For each set of catalyst, process conditions, reactor configuration and fuel upgrading strategy, approximately two - three barrels of specification fuel will be produced for end-use tests.
