This is a Notice of Intent to issue Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-FOA-0002180, titled Design Development and Front End Engineering Design Studies for Coal FIRST Systems and Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0002057 titled Critical Components for Coal FIRST Power Plants of the Future. If released, topics for FOA DE-FOA-0002180 will be focused on Coal FIRST system concepts that do not require substantial research and development and instead are ready to proceed to a FEED study after 1-2 years of design development. Topics are anticipated to include the following types of plants, each of which include carbon capture systems: 1.Flexible Ultra Supercritical Coal-Fired Power Plant 2.Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor with Supercritical Steam Cycle Power Plant 3.Hybrid Natural Gas Turbine USC Coal Boiler Power Plant. If released, the topics for FOA DE-FOA-0002057 may included, but are not limited to, research to develop the critical components in the following areas: 1. Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor with Supercritical Steam Cycle Power Plant System 2. Indirect Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Plant System 3. Direct-fired Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Plant System 4. Gasification Based Poly-generation (for power and other products, such as NH3) 5. Coal-Fired Direct Injection Combustion Engine & Gas Turbine Compound Reheat Combined Cycle Power Plant System 6. Modular Staged Pressurized Oxy-combustion Power Plant System 7. Flameless Pressurized Oxy-combustion Power Plant System•8. Modular Gasification Syngas Combined Heat and Power Plant System It is anticipated that a draft of this Funding Opportunity Announcement will be posted to grants.gov and fedconnect.net in the second quarter of Calendar Year 2020. A final Announcement is anticipated to be posted in the third quarter of Calendar Year 2020. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THIS NOTICE.
