The Department of Energy¿s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy Industrial Technologies Program seeks to enable the use of Combined
Heat
and Power (CHP), District Energy, Waste Heat Recovery, and other clean
energy
systems as solutions to the energy issues facing our nation. Currently the
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Regional Application Centers (RACs) promote
the
development of CHP technology applications offering local, individualized
solutions to customers on project-specific support along with providing end
user education and outreach. The creation of Clean Energy Application
Centers
(Centers) will replace the RACs, expanding their activities beyond CHP to
include District Energy Systems, Waste Heat Recovery and other clean energy
systems as funding becomes available.
These Clean Energy Applications Centers will represent multi-state regions
similar to the existing RACs (see
http://www.eere.energy.gov/de/chp/chp_applications) or comparable
multi-state
regions.
The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to seek
applications
to establish Clean Energy Application Centers. These Centers will provide
essential support for the technology transfer of Combined Heat and Power,
District Energy, Waste Heat Recovery, and other clean energy systems, along
with support for evaluating the economic and environmental value of
proposed
systems based on these technologies.
