Opportunity Summary:
The Demonstration and Deployment Strategies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001013) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Request for Information (RFI) focused on advanced biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower. Rather than offering funding, it is designed to collect input from stakeholders across industry, academia, national labs, government agencies, and other interested parties. DOE is using the RFI to understand what technologies are ready for real-world validation and what deployment strategies or barriers should be considered before the Department potentially releases a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Because it is an RFI and not a FOA, DOE is not accepting grant applications and there is no funding associated with this notice (the listing reflects estimated total funding and award amounts as zero).
The technical emphasis is on technologies that are far enough along to be validated at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher, meaning systems that have moved beyond lab research and are at a stage where a prototype or representative system can be demonstrated in a relevant environment. DOE is specifically seeking practical, experience-based feedback that can inform later demonstration and deployment efforts in the advanced bioenergy space, including advanced biofuel pathways, biobased products, and biopower technologies.
This posting is a modification to the original RFI and the change is straightforward: DOE extended the deadline for submitting responses under the Response Guidelines. The submission deadline was moved from 11:59 pm Eastern Time on December 6, 2013, to 11:59 pm Eastern Time on December 18, 2013. Aside from that date extension, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
Responses must be submitted by email to DDRFI@go.doe.gov and included as an attachment in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Respondents are asked to specify the relevant Area of Interest and answer the questions tied to their technology. If someone wants to comment on more than one Area of Interest, DOE requests separate email submissions for each one. The email subject line should read "RFI Response for DD Strategies." The notice was posted October 30, 2013, and the administering office is listed as DOE’s Golden Field Office. The full announcement was made available through the EERE Exchange site, and the contact listed for access issues is Brenda L. Dias (reachable via DDRFI@go.doe.gov), with questions also directed to the same inbox.
Demonstration and Deployment Strategies (DE-FOA-0001013) RFI: Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this a funding opportunity or a request for information (RFI)?
This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). It is intended to collect stakeholder input, not to award funding.

No. Because this is an RFI (not a Funding Opportunity Announcement), DOE is not accepting grant applications and there is no funding associated with this notice. The listing reflects estimated total funding and award amounts as zero.
3) What is the purpose of the RFI?
DOE is using this RFI to gather practical, experience-based feedback from stakeholders to understand which advanced bioenergy technologies are ready for real-world validation and what demonstration/deployment strategies or barriers should be considered before DOE potentially issues a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
4) What topic areas does the RFI focus on?
The RFI is focused on advanced biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower, with an emphasis on later-stage technologies suitable for demonstration and deployment considerations.
5) What types of technologies is DOE most interested in for this RFI?
DOE is seeking input on technologies that are far enough along to be validated at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher, meaning they have moved beyond lab research and are at a stage where a prototype or representative system can be demonstrated in a relevant environment.
6) What does TRL 6 or higher mean in the context of this RFI?
In this RFI, TRL 6 or higher refers to systems beyond basic lab research, where a prototype or representative system can be demonstrated in a relevant environment and is appropriate for real-world validation planning.
7) Who should respond to this RFI?
DOE is seeking input from stakeholders across industry, academia, national laboratories, government agencies, and other interested parties with relevant experience in advanced biofuels, bioproducts, and/or biopower technologies and their demonstration/deployment needs.
8) Is DOE accepting proposals or applications under this notice?
No. DOE is only accepting RFI responses (information and feedback). It is not accepting grant applications or project proposals for funding under this notice.
9) How do I submit a response?
Responses must be submitted by email to DDRFI@go.doe.gov and included as an attachment.
10) What file formats are accepted for submissions?

The Funding Opportunity Number is DE-FOA-0001013.
22) If there is no funding, why does it have a Funding Opportunity Number?
This notice is labeled with Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001013, but it is explicitly an RFI and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement. As a result, it does not accept applications and does not provide funding.
23) What might DOE do with the information collected?
DOE intends to use stakeholder feedback to inform potential future demonstration and deployment efforts and to shape considerations for a possible future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in the advanced bioenergy space.
24) Is DOE looking for theory or practical feedback?
DOE is specifically seeking practical, experience-based feedback that can help inform later demonstration and deployment planning for advanced biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower technologies.
