Description:
Breakthrough Energy's Catalyst program works with companies, governments, and philanthropists to fund and support projects that will reduce the Green Premium and replace carbon-intensive processes and technologies with clean alternatives.
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), Catalyst will identify emerging climate technology projects based in the U.S. and its territories for project-level financing. In the coming months, Catalyst expects to issue additional RFPs to fund projects outside of the U.S.
Overview and Scope:
Catalyst invites responses from projects located in the U.S. and its territories across the following four technology sectors:
Green hydrogen
Direct air capture
Sustainable aviation fuel
Long duration energy storage
Deadlines:
The RFP will remain open for submissions until December 31, 2027 (RFP Close Date). All Respondents seeking funding in the first half of 2022 must have their Part I Submission in by January 31, 2022, at which time Catalyst will undertake its first round of evaluations. After January 31, 2022, submissions will be evaluated on a rolling basis (no less frequently than semi-annually) until the RFP Close Date.
Submission Details:
Please read the RFP Document, which contains the information that is required for Part I and Part II Submissions, and complete the Intent-to-Bid form. Once the form has been submitted, an email with a Unique Respondent ID (URID), a link to submit Part I Submissions, and additional details will be sent to you. You will need the URID to support a file naming convention, which is detailed in Section 6 of the RFP document. Please use the provided link to upload Part I Submissions. Catalyst will then notify Respondents if they have been selected for Part II Submissions and/or Pitch Presentations after reviewing Part I Submissions.
Webinar Information:
An informational webinar will be held on December 14, 2021, to address RFP questions. A link to the webinar recording will be available on the website shortly after. Additional sessions may be added and will be announced on the website prior to each session.
