Opportunity Title:
Concentrating Solar Flux to Heat & Power
Funder/Agency:
Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office (GFO)
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-0003269
Description:
SETO’s efforts are part of a multiyear, multiprong strategy that is guided by the Industrial Heat Shot, a DOE-wide initiative to develop cost-competitive industrial heat decarbonization technologies with at least 85% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to 2020 emissions by 2035.
The research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) activities to be funded under this FOA will support the government-wide approach to the climate crisis by driving innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection. Specifically, this FOA will help decarbonize the energy system and high-temperature industrial processes in the United States through innovation and advancement in CSP technologies, including solar collectors, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles, and high-temperature solar receivers and reactors. By achieving desired performance and technoeconomic metrics, these technologies can help enable broad deployment of concentrating solar-thermal (CST) systems in the United States.
Concentrating Solar Flux to Heat and Power is composed of three different topic areas as noted below:
Topic Area 1: Scalable Concentrating Solar Collectors
Topic Area 2: Scalable Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2)
Topic Area 3: Scalable Concentrating Solar-thermal Receivers and Reactors
DOE is compiling a Teaming Partner List to facilitate the formation of project teams for this FOA. The Teaming Partner List allows organizations that may wish to participate on a project to express their interest to other applicants and explore potential partnerships. This list will be available on EERE eXCHANGE and will be regularly updated to reflect new teaming partners who provide their organization’s information.
