Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002895

This notice is an informational announcement from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), specifically the National Energy Technology Laboratory, signaling DOE's intent to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) connected to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The planned FOA is described as "BIL-Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 40302" and is associated with FOA number DE-FOA-0002829 (the notice also lists an opportunity number as DE FOA 0002895 in the source data). The key point is that this is only a Notice of Intent, meaning DOE is not yet accepting applications under this announcement itself and is not requesting public comments on the notice.

The planned program focus is the Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Program. DOE's stated objective is to demonstrate that certain widely used, incumbent products can be replaced or supplemented with alternatives made from the conversion of anthropogenic carbon oxides (in practice, carbon dioxide and related carbon oxide streams tied to human activity). The underlying idea is that by turning captured or otherwise sourced carbon oxides into useful products, these alternatives can deliver meaningful net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional products. In addition to the emissions benefits, DOE is emphasizing market viability: the grants are intended to show that these lower-carbon alternatives are practical and sustainable enough to keep being used and deployed after federal funding ends, rather than remaining one-off demonstrations.

In terms of the type of funding and administrative category, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant in the energy funding activity category, with CFDA number 81.089. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and other entities as further clarified in the FOA's eligibility section (the notice references an additional eligibility text field for details). This indicates that the program is oriented toward public-sector procurement and deployment activity, potentially with partnerships that may include other kinds of organizations depending on the final FOA language.

The notice provides timeline signals rather than firm deadlines. It indicates the FOA was anticipated to be issued in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023. The record also shows a creation date of December 13, 2022, and an original closing date of February 15, 2023, though because this is a Notice of Intent, those dates should be treated as planning markers tied to the forthcoming FOA rather than definitive application deadlines for the notice itself. The listing also shows an award ceiling value of "2" and expected awards of "0" in the provided data, which appears to reflect placeholder or incomplete posting information rather than a clear statement of total funding, number of awards, or maximum award size. The definitive funding amounts, cost share requirements (if any), submission requirements, eligible project types, and evaluation criteria would be expected to appear in the full FOA when issued.

Overall, the opportunity is about using DOE grant support to drive real-world procurement and adoption of products derived from converting anthropogenic carbon oxides, with the dual aim of proving greenhouse gas reductions at a net level and accelerating market deployment that can persist beyond the period of federal support.

  • The Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory in the energy sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "This is a Notice of Intent to issue Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0002829" and is now available to receive applicants.
  • Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 81.089.
  • This funding opportunity was created on Dec 13, 2022.
  • Applicants must submit their applications by Feb 15, 2023 DE-FOA-0002829 FOA is anticipated to be issued in first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023.. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
  • Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $2.00 in funding.
  • Eligible applicants include: State governments, County governments, City or township governments, Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
