The Department of Energy is offering a grant to develop turbine-based technology for fossil fuels such as coal-derived synthesis gas, hydrogen, and natural gas. The focus is on enhancing turbine machinery and subsystems applicable to coal gasification processes, with a particular emphasis on natural gas applications. The grant aims to accelerate technology readiness for quicker commercial deployment, specifically targeting synthesis gas or hydrogen utilization. Areas of interest include advanced combustion turbines, oxy-fuel combustion turbines with CO2 dilution, and modular turbine-based hybrid heat engines for fossil energy applications. Closing date for applications is January 24, 2018.

| Description: | This FOA is soliciting applications to develop turbine based technology applicable to fossil fuels including coal derived synthesis gas, coal derived hydrogen and natural gas. The turbine based machinery and turbine based subsystems developed through this FOA will have direct application to coal gasification processes where coal derived synthesis gas or hydrogen are produced. Additionally, because the modifications required for a turbine based heat engine to accept coal syngas or natural gas are small and manageable, and the market for natural gas applications is robust, natural gas will be considered the developmental fuel in this FOA. This approach to developmental fuel use will facilitate technology readiness level maturation at an accelerated pace leading to quicker commercial deployment and will consequently result in technology that is ready sooner for coal derived synthesis gas or hydrogen.
Applications are sought in three areas of interest that include 1. Advanced Combustion Turbines for Combined Cycle Applications, 2. Development of an Oxy-fuel Combustion Turbine with CO2 Dilution for Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Based Power Cycles, and 3. Modular Turbine-based Hybrid Heat Engines for Fossil Energy Applications. |
