18 OF THE FOA FOR DETAILS.***
The purpose of this amendment is to 1) re-open the FOA originally issued on
August 11, 2008, 2) provide a second Application Due Date (closing date) of
August 24, 2009 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time, and 3) make associated
programmatic
and administrative changes. Additionally, this amendment makes certain
changes
to the Model Cooperative Agreement.***
The Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) is a cost-shared collaboration
between
the Government and industry to increase investment in low-emission coal
technology by demonstrating advanced coal-based, power generation
technologies,
consistent with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58 (EPACT
2005).
The CCPI goal is to accelerate the readiness of advanced coal technologies
for
commercial deployment, thus ensuring that the United States has clean,
reliable, and affordable electricity and power.
By overcoming technical risks associated with bringing advanced technology
to
the point of commercial readiness, the CCPI accelerates the development of
new
coal technologies for power and hydrogen production, contributes to proving
the
feasibility of integrating carbon dioxide (CO2) management and power
production
and facilitates the movement of technologies into the marketplace that are
emerging from the core research and development activities. CCPI directly
supports the Climate Change Technology Program to reduce emissions of CO2,
a
greenhouse gas.
For this Announcement, DOE¿s specific objective is to demonstrate advanced
coal-based technologies that capture and sequester, or put to beneficial
use,
CO2 emissions. DOE¿s goals are to demonstrate at commercial scale in a
commercial setting, technologies that (1) can achieve a minimum of 50% CO2
capture efficiency and make progress toward a target CO2 capture efficiency
of
90% in a gas stream containing at least 10% CO2 by volume, (2) make
progress
toward capture and sequestration goal of less than 10% increase in the cost
of
electricity (COE) for gasification systems and less than 35% for combustion
and
oxycombustion systems all as compared to current (2008) practice, and (3)
capture and sequester or put to beneficial use a minimum of 300,000 tons
per
year of CO2 emissions using a thirty day running average to determine if
the
project successfully meets the CO2 capture efficiency and the capture and
sequestration or beneficial use rate requirements of this Announcement.
DOE is currently developing large scale field tests of geologic CO2
sequestration in the U.S., on the order of 1 million tons of CO2 per year
under
a separate program. DOE is interested in allowing demonstration projects
under
CCPI to integrate with the sequestration field tests, which may already be
fully operational by the time the CCPI projects come on-line. A project
performer could, for example, attempt to integrate a CCPI project with a
sequestration field test to supply lower-cost CO2, and reduce the cost of
either or both projects. This would require careful cooperation or
integration
of the management of both projects.
