Description
Projects under this FOA will be funded, in whole or
in part, with funds
appropriated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L.
111-5, (Recovery Act or Act). The Recovery Act¿s purposes are to stimulate
the
economy and to create and retain jobs. The Act gives preference to
activities
that can be started and completed expeditiously. Accordingly, special
consideration will be given to projects that promote and enhance the
objectives
of the Act, especially job creation, preservation and economic recovery, in
an
expeditious manner.
The Department of Energy¿s (DOE¿s) Carbon Sequestration Program within the
Office of Fossil Energy¿s (FE¿s) Coal Program involves two key elements for
technology development and research: 1) core R D and 2) infrastructure.
The
core R D element contains five focal areas for carbon sequestration
technology
development: 1) capture, 2) geologic carbon storage, 3) monitoring,
verification, and accounting (MVA), 4) carbon dioxide (CO2) use, and 5)
simulation and risk assessment. Core R D is driven by technology needs and
is
accomplished through laboratory and pilot-scale research aimed at
developing
new technologies and new systems for CO2-emission mitigation. The
Infrastructure element includes large-scale projects and the Regional
Carbon
Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs). An awareness of current and completed
research and development activities in the carbon sequestration area will
be
important to achieving the proper balance of integration with other funded
activities. For additional information on DOE¿s carbon sequestration
activities, please visit:

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies offer great potential for
reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating global climate change. Deploying
these
technologies will require a significantly expanded workforce trained in the
various specialties that are currently under-represented in the United
States.
Education and training activities undertaken in this project will develop a
future generation of geologists, scientists, and engineers that will
provide
the human capital and skills required for implementing and deploying CCS
technologies.
Grant applications from universities, colleges, and college-affiliated
research
institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other
Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI) are sought to provide training
opportunities
for graduate and undergraduate students that will provide the human capital
and
skills required for implementing and deploying CCS technologies. Training
can
be accomplished through fundamental research in the CCS technology area.
Fundamental research is needed to advance science in: simulation and risk
assessment; monitoring, verification, and accounting; geological related
analytical tools; methods to interpret geophysical models; well completion
and
integrity for long-term CO2 storage; and CO2
capture.
