The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) today announced up to a $12.3 million for a new funding opportunity to advance crosscutting research that enhances fossil energy power system efficiency. As part of FE’s Crosscutting Research Program, research and development efforts are intended to create cost-effective progress toward achieving benefits for electric generating units and industrial plants that use fossil fuel. The five focus areas are as follows:
- Improvements to Coal Combustion Power Plants
- Characterization of Long-Term Service Coal Combustion Power Plant Extreme Environment Material
- Fossil Energy Extreme Environment Materials Model Development
- Innovative Concepts for Water Management in Coal Power Generation Systems
- Effluent Water Management at Coal-Fired Energy Plants
