What the grant funds
The purpose of this amendment is to make an internal administrative change only. Amendment 000001 is unchanged from Base RFI. It is only released to trigger grants.gov posting. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit feedback from industry members, investors, developers, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, potentially impacted communities and other stakeholders on potential projects under this topic all while considering environmental justice, energy transition, tribal, and other impacted communities. Information on concepts, processes, configurations, and systems related to the following comments and questions are requested. While DOE’s preference is that respondents address all number items below, responses that address only a subset of the questions would still be helpful and are welcomed. This is solely a request for information and is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). U.S. DOE is not accepting applications to this RFI.
