FORECASTED U.S. Department of Energy; National Energy Technology Laboratory Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
As part of the BIL, supporting the Administration’s goal to achieve a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and putting the United States on a path to a net-zero economy by 2050, this demonstration program will issue grants to eligible entities to procure commercial and industrial products derived from the conversion of anthropogenic carbon oxides and demonstrate a significant net reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to incumbent technologies, processes, and products. FOA is anticipated to be issued in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023.
U.S. Department of Energy; Golden Field Office Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Resilient and Efficient Codes Implementation concept papers due January 31, 2023
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Resilient and Efficient Codes Implementation. The activities to be funded under this FOA support the BIL, as well as a broader government-wide approach to advance building codes and support their successful implementation. The primary focus centers around updating to more efficient building energy codes that save money for American homes and businesses, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and encourage more resilient buildings. This FOA seeks applications with project teams ready to advance building energy codes and other building efficiency policies within a particular region, state, or local jurisdiction.
