    The Department of Energy (DOE) has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Future Growth Grants (FGG) under the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (CIFIA) Program, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The initiative focuses on developing CO2 transport infrastructure to support carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, aligning with the Biden Administration's climate goals. The FOA seeks applications that propose projects for transporting CO2 derived from anthropogenic sources, with both a Base Project and a larger Expanded Project outlined. Applicants must submit a Letter of Interest by August 15, 2024, and full applications by September 30, 2024. A one-time registration with Grants.gov and the System for Award Management (SAM) is required. The DOE encourages projects that emphasize workforce development, particularly union jobs, and aims to ensure benefits reach disadvantaged communities. The funding can cover up to 80% of the cost differential between the Base and Expanded Projects. Projects will undergo a three-phased review process, requiring detailed planning, construction, and reporting systems for community benefits. This FOA reflects a critical effort to build essential infrastructure for achieving sustainable and efficient CO2 management as part of broader climate initiatives while fostering economic growth and environmental justice.
