YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH FEDCONNECT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
AN
AWARD. The following paragraphs are for informational purposes ONLY. ALL
questions must be submitted through FedConnect. Application preparation
instructions, additional programmatic background information, merit review

criterion, etc. are included in the Body of the Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) which can be located in the upper right hand corner of
the
FedConnect Home Page for this specific FOA (DE-FOA-0000016). YOU MUST
FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE BODY OF THE FOA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN
AWARD.

This FOA seeks cost-shared applications for Combined Heat and Power
Technology
Development and Demonstration. The three (3) Areas of Interest are based
on
the output range of the CHP system, as follows:
Area of Interest 1: Large CHP Systems (less than or equal to 20 MW)
Area of Interest 2: Medium CHP Systems (less than or equal to 1MW to
greater than 20 MW)
Area of Interest 3: Small CHP Systems (less than or equal to 5kW to
greater than 1 MW)
All three Areas seek applications that will perform research, development
and
demonstration of technologies that increase the efficiency and reduce the
cost
of CHP systems. This FOA is targeted at meaningful technical advancements
that
will broaden CHP economic and environmental value propositions in vastly
under
exploited vertical market segments. Concurrently, strategic
demonstrations are
sought that will address the risk averse nature of potential CHP users,
including concerns on the impact on electricity grid operations,
regulatory
paradigms and business models that have the effect of inhibiting CHP
growth.
Demonstrations should be aimed at accelerating the project development
process
through collaborative partnerships with key industry partners. Key
technologies are those capable of sizable energy savings and corresponding
GHG
emissions while providing a least cost approach to compliance with
relevant
emissions regulations. All technologies shall have a defined pathway to
commercialization.
All three Areas of Interest seek applications that will substantially
improve
the energy efficiency of the U.S. industrial sector through funding
cost-shared
R D projects in developing innovative technologies that are: (1) highly
efficient, (2) meet future emission requirements, and (3) replace or
mitigate
natural gas usage. Because of the critical impact that natural gas
increases
have had across industry the applications will focus on technologies that
typically use gaseous fuels. In addition to more efficient use of natural
gas,
the use of alternatives such as landfill gas, digester gas, coal derived
synthetic gas, oil field waste gas, or other alternative gaseous fuels
would be
appropriate.
Applications are sought for Research, Development, and Demonstration
projects
which will continue through Stage 4. Projects shall include an integrated
CHP
system demonstration in Stage 4. A minimum of three months of operation
will
be required.

The following applications are considered non-responsive and will not be
reviewed:
A. Applications performing research in ITP Stages 1, 2, or 5
B. Applications which do not include demonstration of an integrated CHP
system.
C. Applications for systems below 5 kW.
Applicants must identify the Area of Interest they are applying for (i.e.,
1,
2, or 3). See labeling instructions under Section IV, C. 1. and 2, below.
APPLICATIONS SHALL BE SUBMITTED SEPARATELY FOR EACH AREA OF INTEREST. A
SINGLE
APPLICATION WITH MULTIPLE AREAS OF INTEREST PROPOSED WILL BE REJECTED AND
CONSIDERED NON-RESPONSIVE TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Duplicate applications will not be reviewed. Only the last application
submitted (identified by time and date stamp) will be
reviewed.
