Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), issued this notice as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather stakeholder feedback on its biofuel research direction. The central purpose is to collect input on eight representative biofuel pathways BETO has already selected to help shape its near-term research and development (R&D) strategy, and to solicit suggestions on additional pre-commercial biofuel pathways DOE should consider for the near- to long-term. In other words, DOE is using this RFI as a listening tool to validate, refine, or expand the set of biofuel production routes it prioritizes, based on perspectives from industry, academia, labs, and other interested parties.
This opportunity is explicitly not a funding solicitation. DOE will not pay for any information submitted, and no projects will be funded as a result of responding. It is also not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), and DOE is not accepting applications for financial assistance or incentives under this posting. DOE notes that it may or may not issue a future FOA depending on what it learns from the responses, so participation should be viewed as a chance to influence future program priorities rather than an immediate route to funding.
The RFI is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001124 and is categorized as a discretionary opportunity with an "Other" funding instrument type, under the energy activity category. The associated CFDA number is 81.087 (Renewable Energy Research and Development). Consistent with its status as an RFI, the estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are all listed as $0, and there is no cost share or matching requirement because no awards are being made.
Eligibility is effectively open (unrestricted) to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full RFI text. The issuing agency is DOE's Golden Field Office. Interested stakeholders are directed to the full RFI on EERE Exchange (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov) for detailed instructions, including where to send content questions versus submission questions.
Submission is electronic only and must be sent by email to PathwaysRFI@ee.doe.gov with the subject line "Response to RFI" no later than 5:00 PM EDT on May 30, 2014 (the posted and closing date window runs from May 2, 2014 to May 30, 2014; archive date is September 1, 2014). Responses must be provided as an attachment in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF format, limited to 5 pages, using 12-point font and 1-inch margins, with a maximum file size of 2.5 MB. DOE states that responses submitted by any other method will not be considered. For access issues or help with the announcement, the contact listed is Geoffrey I. Walker via the same email address (PathwaysRFI@ee.doe.gov).
