Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0000703
The Small Scale Coal Biomass to Liquids (CBTL) Production and Feasibility Study grant opportunity focuses on leveraging the potential of coal combined with biomass to create liquid fuels while enhancing energy security. The initiative highlights that using domestic coal, blended with optimal amounts of biomass, can significantly lower the carbon footprint involved in liquid fuel production. A recent study by the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that integrating biomass can reduce CO2 emissions by about 20% compared to traditional petroleum diesel, especially when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) methods. Selected projects will promote the Coal Program's goals of ensuring affordable, low-emission domestic energy sources and contributing to economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
