Innovative Energy Systems Challenge: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking applications for cost shared research, development, and demonstration of Innovative Energy Systems that can be widely applied throughout the U.S. Chemical Industry. Energy Systems, referred to in this announcement as the Energy Supply Chain, are defined as those technologies and systems, located on or near the chemical plant, that produce and/or transport energy (electrical, thermal, mechanical) to the process, and/or recycle waste energy streams resulting from the chemical process. The Energy Supply Chain in this announcement excludes the chemical process itself. DOE is only requesting applications for only those projects that do not duplicate development of technologies currently being funded elsewhere within DOE's Industrial Technologies and Distributed Energy Programs. Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award. Questions regarding the content of the announcement should be submitted through the Submit Question feature of the DOE Industry Interacitve Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov. VERY IMPORTANT In order to access, complete, and submit applications in Grants.gov, you will first need to install PureEdge Viewer on your computer.
