ICCI RFP2013 & RFP2013-ER Released

The Illinois Clean Coal Institute has released two Request for Proposals, RFP2013 and RFP2013-ER, which are now available for viewing and/or downloading on the ICCI's website at http://www.icci.org
Although these RFPs have an Illinois Basin coal emphasis, there are numerous cross-disciplinary opportunities that do not necessitate experience in hands-on coal research.  Please note there are changes in these solicitations from previous years.  Proposers are advised to carefully study the RFPs to ensure compliance with the new format.  Proposals must be received by 4:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, Friday, June 8, 2012, at the ICCI to be considered for funding. 

If you have any questions regarding the RFPs, you may contact me at the ICCI at (618) 985-3500.

Sincerely,

Francois Botha
Director

Invitation to CO2 Capture Tech Meeting

Dear Colleague:

You are cordially invited to attend the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory's 2012 CO2 Capture Technology Meeting on July 9-12, 2012 at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The 2012 CO2 Capture Technology Meeting will provide a public forum to present carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology development status and accomplishments made under NETL's Innovations for Existing Plants, Carbon Sequestration, and Demonstration Programs (FutureGen 2.0, CCPI -Clean Coal Power Initiative and ICCS -Industrial Carbon Capture and Sequestration).  DOE's ARPA-E will also highlight their CO2 capture portfolio.
This year's meeting will cover post-combustion, oxy-combustion, and pre-combustion carbon capture technologies.  Solvent, sorbent, membrane, chemical looping and compression technologies will be included.
The meeting will have open registration so that in addition to researchers, participants may include employees of other government agencies, electric utilities, research organizations, business, and regulatory agencies at the Federal, State and Local levels.
The Sheraton Station Square Hotel is currently holding a block of rooms for this meeting until Friday, June 8, 2012 at the government rate of $119.00 plus tax.For further information regarding the hotel, transportation/directions, draft agenda and registration visit our website at:http://netldev.netl.doe.gov/business/events

Grant Opp: DOE, Advanced Oxy-combustion Technology Dev. & Scale-up for New & Existing Coal Plants

Agency: US Dept. of Energy

 

Program: Advanced Oxy-combustion Technology Development and Scale-up for New and Existing Coal-fired Power Plants

 

Summary: This Funding Opportunity (FOA) is specifically focused on developing advanced oxy-combustion technologies for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) capture that can be applied to new or

retrofit/repowered coal-based power plants. It is also anticipated that the technologies developed under this FOA may also have application to natural gas-fired plants, and industrial boilers as well.

 

Expected Number of Awards: 10 

 

Estimated Total Program Funding: $10,000,000 

 

Award Ceiling: $1,000,000
