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.
