Opportunity Title:
Funding Notice: Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Pilot Demonstrations
Funder/Agency:
Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-0002826
Description:
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has opened the second-round funding opportunity for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) demonstrations authorized under President Biden’s landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The legislation authorizes DOE to support competitively selected pilot projects that collectively demonstrate EGS in different geologic settings, using a variety of development techniques and well orientations.
The work in projects selected under this second-round funding opportunity, along with those selected in the first-round funding opportunity, will advance EGS towards DOE's ambitious Enhanced Geothermal Shot and GeoVision analysis goals, and help spur further use of geothermal as a critical source of firm, flexible clean energy.
The current FOA seeks projects in Topic Area 4 only.
Topic Area 4: Eastern-US EGS Demonstrations
EGS stimulation demonstration located at a well-characterized eastern U.S. site, with existing well(s) in place and near-term electrical power and heat production potential.
Eastern U.S. demonstrations will target low-permeability, high-temperature geothermal anomalies in the eastern United States with the potential for generation of electrical power and heat production as a cascaded resource. Selected projects will hone understanding of what is required to demonstrate the viability of EGS in the terrains of the eastern United States, especially with respect to stimulation technology/methodologies.
