Bioenergy Technologies Office Overcoming Barriers to Renewable Fuel Scale-up and Demonstration Request for Information (RFI) DE-FOA-0002615: This RFI seeks input from biofuels producers and technology developers about their readiness to scale process technologies to pilot- and demonstration-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel and renewable marine fuels and how DOE can best assist biofuel production stakeholders. This information is necessary for DOE's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) to chart the potential growth of domestic renewable fuels production by 2030 and to understand the barriers in scaling renewable fuel production pathways. The RFI also seeks input on how the first-generation ethanol and other existing industries could be leveraged to provide low-cost feedstock and infrastructure for biofuels production, including information on practices that can reduce the carbon intensity of corn production. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the scale-up of renewable fuel production technologies. EERE is specifically interested in information about: Category 1 - Biofuel Pathway Scale-up Forecasts Category 2 - Barriers to Scale-up of SAF, Marine, and Renewable Diesel Technologies Category 3 - Leveraging First Generation Ethanol and Other Incumbent Industries Category 4 - BETO Scale-up of Biotechnologies Strategy Category 5 - Leveraging National Laboratory Process Development Units (PDU) to Scale-up Renewable Fuels Category 6 - Feedstock Production & Supply This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications. Please see the full text of the RFI DE-FOA-0002615 at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to [email protected] no later than 5:00pm (ET) on January 31, 2022. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Responses must be provided as a Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email, and no more than 10 pages in length, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. Only electronic responses will be accepted. In addition to providing written responses to this RFI, respondents may request a 30-minute individual discussion with a BETO staff member regarding the content of their written responses to the RFI questions. Similarly, if a respondent is unable to submit written responses, or would otherwise prefer to do so, he/she may request a 30-minute individual discussion with a BETO staff member to verbally provide responses to the RFI questions. If a respondent wishes to participate in an individual discussion for either of these reasons, please submit your request to [email protected] and you will be contacted by a BETO staff member to schedule a time for the discussion.
