Partnership Opportunity:
DoE: Department of EnergyDevelopment of Algal/Advanced Biofuels Consortia
Total Estimated Funding: $85M
Due Date: Sept 14, 2009
Purpose of Program: The intended purpose of this FOA is to serve three primary goals of EERE: 1) increase the viability and deployment of renewable energy technologies, thereby 2) spurring the creation of a domestic bio-industry, resulting in 3) a dramatic reduction in dependence on imported oil.
Partnership Opportunity:
DoE: Department of EnergySystems Level Technology Development, Integration,and Demonstration for Efficient Class 8 Trucks (SuperTruck) and Advanced Technology Powertrains For Light-Duty Vehicles (ATP-LD)
Total Estimated Funding: $110,000,000
Close Date: Sept 9, 2009
The goal of Area of Interest 1 is to develop and demonstrate a 50% improvement in overall freight efficiency on a heavy-duty Class 8 tractor-trailer measured in ton-miles per gallon. This improvement will be achieved through the application of advanced vehicle system technologies and advanced engine technologies. At least 20% of the improvement will be through the development of an engine capable of achieving 50% Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE).

Training Program Development for Commercial Building Equipment Technicians, Building Operators, and Energy Commissioning Agents/AuditorsEstimated Total Funding: 7.5 M
Close Date: Sept 1, 2009
The Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's (EERE's) Building Technologies Program (BTP), is seeking applications for projects that focus on developing training programs for various building specialists. The programs shall use existing curricula or develop new training curricula for their course content. To achieve the full potential of energy efficient (and eventual net zero-energy) buildings, our Nation needs commercial building equipment technicians, operators, and energy commissioning agents/auditors who know how to properly run and tune building systems.
