About this opportunity
This Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) seeks input on enabling and transformative technologies for superhot geothermal power generation. The RFI aims to gather information from researchers and technologists across various fields to evaluate novel approaches for developing superhot (greater than or equal to 375°C and 22 MPa) geothermal power systems. Key areas of interest include drilling, well construction, well stimulation, closed-loop systems, and reservoir/borehole characterization. The RFI also seeks information on innovative materials, validation methods, power generation technologies, and ancillary revenue streams. Responses are due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on September 30th, 2024 and should be submitted to ARPA-E-RFI@hq.doe.gov.
This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a funding opportunity. Recent Federal Grant Awards under the ARPA-E program have ranged from approximately $250,000 to $6 million, with project periods typically between 1-3 years. Work would be performed at the applicants' facilities nationwide.
Synopsis
Request for Information (RFI) on Enabling and Transformative Technologies for Superhot Geothermal Power. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this RFI is to seek input from researchers and technologists of various backgrounds, representing a broad range of fields and disciplines, with the goal of evaluating novel approaches to develop superhot (defined as greater than or equal to 375°C and associated pressures of roughly 22 megapascals (MPa)) enhanced geothermal power for generating electricity and other uses. These approaches should accelerate the construction of high-temperature geothermal wells that may include water in a supercritical state, or "superhot".
