Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Demonstration of Integrated BiorefineryOperations" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-PS36-09GO99038) was a U.S. Department of Energy effort associated with the Golden Field Office. It was categorized under "Other" for the opportunity category, with funding provided through a Cooperative Agreement mechanism, and it fell under the Energy funding activity category. The related CFDA number was 81.087, which corresponds to Renewable Energy Research and Development. In practical terms, this kind of program would have been aimed at supporting work that advances renewable energy technologies, and the specific title indicates a focus on demonstrating integrated biorefinery operations, meaning projects that bring multiple conversion and processing steps together in a single, coordinated facility or operational system rather than studying them in isolation.
A key point is that the announcement was ultimately canceled. The listing explicitly states "This opportunity has been canceled" in the description, and the current closing date is recorded as canceled rather than providing a revised deadline. Historically, the opportunity was posted on December 22, 2008, had an original closing date of April 30, 2009, and was later archived on June 5, 2009. A creation date of May 14, 2009 is also shown in the record, which reflects when that particular record entry was created or updated in the system rather than changing the fact that the solicitation itself originated in late 2008.
Had it proceeded, the financial structure allowed for substantial awards, with an award ceiling listed at $40,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The floor being zero is often used in federal listings when the minimum award size is not specified in the summary record, not necessarily because zero-dollar awards are expected. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients would have been expected to contribute a portion of total project costs from non-federal sources, a common feature of large demonstration-scale energy projects where the government shares risk with industry, universities, states, or other partners.
Eligibility was listed as "Unrestricted," described as open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that would have been provided in the full text of the announcement under "Additional Information on Eligibility." This typically suggests that companies, universities, national laboratories (where permitted), nonprofits, state and local governments, and other organizations could potentially apply, assuming they met the technical and administrative requirements spelled out in the complete funding announcement.
For applicant support and administrative issues, the record points to contact channels that were used at the time. For problems accessing the announcement electronically, it directs users to the IIPS HelpDesk at iipshelpdesk@e-center.doe.gov, and it lists a program contact, Hank Eggink, at hank.eggink@go.doe.gov. Even though the opportunity has been canceled and archived, these details indicate the original points of contact associated with the Golden Field Office and the DOE electronic solicitation system used for that period.
In short, this was a DOE Golden Field Office cooperative agreement solicitation under CFDA 81.087 intended to support demonstration-scale integrated biorefinery operations with required cost sharing and potential awards up to $40 million, but it is no longer active because the opportunity was canceled and subsequently archived in 2009.
