Opportunity Title:
Carbon Management
Funder/Agency:
Department of Energy (DOE)
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM)
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-0002614
Description:
Projects selected under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will focus on two areas:
Advancing research and development to use CO2 captured from sources such as industrial and power generation facilities, as well as from legacy carbon dioxide emissions captured directly from the atmosphere, to produce algae-derived value-added products. Applications must identify a specific end use for the algal product, such as animal or fish feed, biochar, fertilizer, building products, and polymers.
Developing projects that advance oxygen-based approaches such as oxy-combustion and chemical looping, which lead to reductions in CO2 emissions associated with industrial production processes. Oxygen-based processes involve the use of oxygen rather than air to drive reactions essential to the generation of products. This type of system eliminates the introduction of nitrogen (from air) into the industrial process, generating gas streams composed only of water, CO2, trace contaminants from the feed materials, and any other gas constituents that enter the product generation system. The high concentration of CO2 and absence of nitrogen in the gas streams simplifies separation of the CO2 for storage or beneficial use, providing the potential for oxygen-based processing to be a low-cost alternative for the manufacturing of industrial products combined with carbon capture and storage.
Round 4: This FOA is being re-opened to solicit applications for new Areas of Interest:
• AOI-1B. Biological Pathways Utilizing Algae to Convert Anthropogenic CO 2 to Products
• AOI-3D. Decarbonization of Industrial Processes Using Oxygen-Based (Oxy-combustion
and Chemical Looping) Approaches
