The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Lab is seeking cost-shared research and development proposals to advance pilot-scale testing of carbon conversion technologies with high technology readiness levels. The grant opportunity, titled "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Accelerating CO2 Conversion Technology Development and Deployment - Biological, Catalytic, and Mineralization Pathways", competitively solicits proposals from unrestricted applicants capable of achieving significant carbon mitigation through biological, catalytic, or mineralization pathways. Key requirements include detailed techno-economic analysis, life cycle analysis, technology gap analysis, and environmental, health, and safety assessments. Proposals are due by April 11, 2025, with selections anticipated by August 1, 2025 and awards by December 5, 2025.
The funding opportunity offers $100 million across four topic areas, with individual awards ranging from $2-8 million and requiring a minimum 20% cost share. The program aims to advance the commercial viability of sustainable carbon conversion products and technologies, supporting the administration's goals of achieving a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy-wide by 2050.
