The federal grant notice titled "Promoting Domestic and International Consensus on Clean Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Technologies" is being offered by the Headquarters agency. The grant is a Cooperative Agreement in the category of Energy. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity is posted on grants.gov and falls under the discretionary funding category. The CFDA number associated with this grant is 81.089. The eligible applicants for this grant are unrestricted.
The grant aims to promote the development and adoption of clean fossil energy and carbon management technologies. The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) is focused on minimizing the environmental impacts of fossil fuels and working towards achieving net-zero emissions. 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.
The grant opportunity provides support for conferences, workshops, and events that benefit the public by allowing the exchange of information and best practices in the development of clean energy technologies. It also supports bilateral and regional initiatives and activities with global partners to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The grant has an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and an award floor of $1. The expected number of awards is 2. The close date for this grant is September 30, 2024. The last updated date for the grant information is April 3, 2024. The archive date for the grant is October 30, 2024.
