About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is seeking proposals for the Pilot-scale Rapid Operational Validation of key Energy Infrastructure Technologies (PROVE IT) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The solicitation targets two specific topic areas: Point Source Carbon Capture and Long Duration Energy Storage, with the goal of advancing innovative energy infrastructure technologies. Eligible U.S.-based small businesses with fewer than 500 employees will be evaluated based on technology readiness, project plans, commercialization strategy, and team interviews. The selection process will focus on technologies capable of demonstrating operational validation in industrial-relevant environments. Key submission deadlines include the proposal due date of January 13, 2025, with the solicitation planned for release in Q1 2025.
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses, with a total program funding of approximately $30 million across the two topic areas. The contract will be structured as milestone-based, firm-fixed price awards of approximately $4.3 million each, supporting about 9 small businesses through three project phases: Plan ($300K, 3-6 months), Integrate ($2M, 6-9 months), and Validate ($2M, 12-18 months). Specific technical requirements include carbon capture systems processing 1-3 tons per day with 80%+ capture efficiency and non-lithium electrochemical storage systems sized 100-250 kWdc with 10+ hour discharge duration. The program aims to support technologies that can advance toward commercial demonstration, with a focus on innovative solutions in carbon capture and long-duration energy storage.
