The Industrial Technologies Program is offering this grant for the Deployment of Industrial Energy Efficiency Systems

In support of the ARRA, the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is
seeking
deployment projects for district energy systems, Combined Heat and Power
(CHP)
and waste energy recovery applications, and energy-efficient industrial
equipment and processes.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) offers several distinct advantages over many
other electricity and thermal energy generating technologies with regard to

performance, availability, and cost. CHP, or cogeneration, is the
concurrent
production of electricity or mechanical power and useful thermal energy
(heating and/or cooling) from a single source of energy. CHP is a suite
of
technologies that generate electricity or power at the point of use and
recover
the thermal energy that would normally be lost in the power generation
process.
This allows for much greater improvement in overall fuel efficiency,
resulting
in lower operating costs and CO2 emissions. CHP positively impacts the
health
of local economies while also supporting national policies in a number of
ways.

District energy systems produce steam, hot water or chilled water at a
central
plant and then pipe the energy out to buildings in the district for space
heating, domestic hot water heating and air conditioning. The scale of
district energy systems enables higher efficiencies to be obtained through
the
centralized system. District energy systems are often operated with CHP
technologies, providing efficiencies of 80% or higher.

The capital cost of new equipment is often a roadblock for utilization of
more
efficient equipment and processes. Although the newer technologies would
provide lower energy requirements and operating costs, the payback period
for
some technologies does not meet internal business goals. This FOA will
enable
deployment of industrial technologies that provide 25% or greater
improvement
in energy efficiency over the currently-utilized equipment.

The objective of the FOA is to solicit applications for cost-shared
projects
that will deploy sustainable energy infrastructure projects and energy
efficient industrial technologies. Specifically, this FOA seeks projects
to
deploy efficient technologies in the following four areas of interest:
1)Combined Heat and Power; 2) District Energy Systems; 3) Industrial Waste
Energy Recovery; 4) Efficient Industrial Equipment

The result will be deployment of technologies that will increase our
national
energy security, provide construction and manufacturing jobs, and build
markets
for skilled green construction.
