OpportunityTitle: Solar-thermal Fuels and Thermal Energy Storage via Concentrated Solar-thermal Energy
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Domestic Entities    The proposed prime recipient and subrecipient(s) must be domestic entities. The following types of domestic entities are eligible to participate as a prime recipient or subrecipient of this FOA:    1. Institutions of higher education;    2. For-profit entities;    3. Nonprofit entities; and    4. State and local governmental entities and Indian tribes.    To qualify as a domestic entity, the entity must be organized, chartered, or incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a particular state or territory of the United States; have majority domestic ownership and control; and have a physical place of business in the United States.    DOE/National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) FFRDCs are eligible to apply for funding as a prime recipient or subrecipient.    Non-DOE/NNSA FFRDCs are eligible to participate as a subrecipient but are not eligible to apply as a prime recipient.
Description: Specifically, this FOA will implement two approaches to energy storage in concentrated solar-thermal (CST) systems: thermochemical storage via solar fuel production and local thermal energy storage (TES) for dispatchable energy. The two technologies will support the government-wide approach to the climate crisis by driving the innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection. Modification 000001: Modified the Full Application Deadline and expected date for Selection Notifications; see the cover page of the FOA.
