Description

The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) Assistance for the Adoption of the Latest and Zero Building Energy Codes" (CFDA Number: 81.117). This discretionary grant aims to provide up to $1 billion in funding to States and units of local government for the adoption and implementation of the latest building energy codes, zero energy building codes, or equivalent codes or standards.

Building energy codes are a type of building code that contribute to the overall health, safety, efficiency, and long-term resilience of buildings. They can be adopted as standalone codes or as part of broader building codes such as the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC). Energy codes play a crucial role in decarbonizing new and existing residential and commercial buildings.

The grant opportunity supports eligible entities in further decarbonizing their buildings by adopting the latest national model building energy codes, zero energy codes, or other codes that deliver equivalent or greater energy savings. It also encourages innovative approaches to decarbonize existing buildings through measurable and enforceable requirements. The IRA grant is particularly interested in supporting States and local governments in implementing local capacity building, workforce and education investments, and long-term improvements in building energy codes.

The grant has an estimated total program funding of $530 million, with an award ceiling of $20 million and an award floor of $10 million. It is expected to make approximately 200 awards. The close date for applications is April 30, 2024, and the archive date is May 30, 2024.

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.

The programs under FECM use research, development, demonstration, and deployment approaches to advance technologies that reduce carbon emissions and other environmental impacts of fossil fuel production and use. The priority areas of technology work include point-source carbon capture, hydrogen with carbon management, methane emissions reduction, critical mineral production, and carbon dioxide removal. FECM recognizes the importance of global decarbonization through carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and aims to engage with international colleagues to leverage expertise in this area. The office is also committed to improving the conditions of communities impacted by the legacy of fossil fuel use and supporting a healthy economic transition that accelerates the growth of good-paying jobs. The grant opportunity focuses on two program areas. The first program area is Carbon Management Technologies, which aims to enable the demonstration and deployment of technologies for carbon management in a just and sustainable way. The goal is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. The grant seeks to partner with organizations to provide consultation, analysis, and cooperation in the field of carbon management technology. This includes engaging recognized experts to provide advice and assistance to decision-makers, conducting analyses and preparing studies on selected topics, and developing outreach materials tailored for domestic and international audiences. The second program area is Domestic and International Oil, Natural Gas, Methane Hydrates, Hydrogen, and Critical Minerals. The focus of this program area is to reduce the environmental impacts and emissions associated with fossil energy development, use, transportation, and storage. The grant seeks to engage recognized experts in global oil, natural gas, hydrogen, and critical minerals to provide advice and assistance to government and private decision-makers. It also aims to develop market analyses, technical studies, workshops, and stakeholder events to promote understanding and education on topics related to oil, natural gas, hydrogen, and critical minerals.

Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Connected Communities 2.0: Innovations to Manage Growing Transportation, Building, and Industrial Loads to the Grid." This funding opportunity aims to address the increasing loads on the electric grid from transportation, industry, and buildings by providing new tools for grid users, planners, and operators. The grant focuses on two major areas: Connected Communities 2.0 and Smart Charge Management (SCM). Connected Communities 2.0 aims to implement grid edge technical measures in buildings, industry, and transportation to prepare the electric grid for new loads and improve resilience. SCM focuses on various urban, suburban, and rural use cases to build confidence in SCM as an effective approach for electric vehicles (EVs) to provide flexibility and value to the grid. The awarded projects will have three primary goals. First, they will demonstrate how smart and coordinated management of EVs and other distributed energy resources can provide grid support, reduce system costs, and improve customer technology adoption. Second, they will demonstrate approaches that enable acceptance of smart charge management and grid-edge technical measures by utilities, public utility commissions, and communities. Finally, the projects will aim to improve resilience for communities, end-use customers, and the overall grid in the face of growing loads, extreme weather events, cyber threats, and increasing reliance on the electric grid. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $65 million, with an award ceiling of $6 million and an award floor of $3 million. The deadline for submission is October 10, 2024.
