The Department of Energy is offering a grant for research in the Advanced Energy Systems Program to enhance methane production through in-situ coal conversion and develop low-cost oxygen production for gasification. The grant aims to accelerate bio-gasification of coal seams and produce oxygen for coal gasification processes more affordably compared to current methods. Proposals must align with the program’s objectives to improve energy systems. Closing date for submissions is April 13, 2015.

| Description: | For Fiscal Year 2015, the Advanced Energy Systems (AES) Program will solicit proposals under this Funding Opportunity Announcement for support of the Gasification Systems technology area. There will be a total of two Areas of Interest. The AES Program is pursuing research and development to (1) accelerate in-situ bio-gasification of coal seams with a goal of creating methane at a lower cost than typical U.S. natural gas recovery systems; and (2) produce oxygen for use in coal gasification processes at a significantly lower cost than that of the commercial state of the art technology. |
