Description

The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a Request for Information (RFI) titled "National Definition for a Zero Emissions Building: Part 1 Operating Emissions". This RFI is seeking feedback from various stakeholders, including industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and others, on Part 1 of a draft National Definition for a Zero Emissions Building. The goal is to develop a clear and measurable definition that will help transition the building sector to zero emissions.

The Biden Administration has set ambitious goals for net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 100% clean energy electricity sector by 2035. Within the building sector, the administration aims to make zero emissions resilient new construction and retrofits common practice by 2030. Achieving these goals will require increasing efficiency, expanding clean energy capacity, and integrating buildings into a cleaner grid.

The National Definition for a Zero Emissions Building will serve as a standardized and measurable basis for zero emissions buildings. It will provide designers and operators with multiple pathways to reduce building sector emissions. The current draft definition includes criteria such as high energy efficiency, absence of on-site emissions from energy use, and reliance solely on clean energy.

Interested parties can access the full draft definition and submit their responses to the RFI electronically by March 6, 2024. It is important to note that this RFI is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The DOE will consider the responses received before finalizing version 1.00 of Part 1 of the National Definition for a Zero Emissions Building.

For more information and to submit responses, please visit the following link: National Definition for a Zero Emissions Building. Additional information can be found on the EERE Funding Opportunity Exchange.

Please ensure your timely and thorough response to this RFI to contribute to the development of a clear and effective definition for zero emissions buildings.

Geothermal Resources’ Value In Implementing Decarbonization (GRID)
Active
Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Geothermal Resources' Value In Implementing Decarbonization (GRID)". This opportunity falls under the category of Energy and is a discretionary grant. The grant is a Cooperative Agreement and does not require cost sharing or matching. The grant has a close date of September 9, 2024, and an archive date of October 9, 2024. The purpose of this grant is to increase geothermal energy deployment through research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of innovative technologies that enhance exploration and production. The goal is to contribute to a carbon-pollution free electric sector by 2035 and a net-zero emission economy by 2050, while providing economic opportunities and environmental benefits for all Americans. The grant supports geothermal energy RD&D activities in six research areas aimed at increased access, reduced costs and improved economics, and improved education and outreach about geothermal resources. The DOE's 2023 Enhanced Geothermal ShotTM analysis suggests that with aggressive technology improvements, geothermal electricity generation could provide 90 GWe of firm, flexible power to the US electric grid by 2050. The Biden-Harris Administration's priority of building a clean and equitable energy economy and addressing the climate crisis is supported by this grant. Geothermal power offers a unique value proposition to achieve the United States' target of 100% carbon-pollution-free electricity by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. Geothermal power is known for being a clean, firm generation resource with a high capacity factor, 24/7 availability, and minimal land use footprint. Additionally, the combination of flexible geothermal operations and geothermal power coupled with storage technologies expands the range of services that geothermal power can provide to a decarbonizing grid. This grant aims to catalyze regional grid modeling studies that quantify the potential contribution of geothermal power in supporting an equitable transition to a future decarbonized grid and economy. The funded research and development (R&D) activities will drive innovation and the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection.
