The Energy Storage Pilot Demonstrations program, managed by the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), supports pilot-scale demonstrations for non-lithium, long-duration energy storage solutions. The program aims to advance technical maturity, reduce uncertainty in cost and performance, generate operational datasets, and increase investor and end-user confidence. The total DOE funding available is up to $100 million, with project funding ranging from $5 million to $20 million DOE share, requiring a minimum of 50 percent non-Federal cost share. Projects must demonstrate long-duration (10 hour) discharge capabilities and have a clear path to commercialization.

The City of Bellingham is seeking proposals from parties interested in and capable of producing a special event or a unique public experience, “signature event.” Donor Name: City of Bellingham State: Washington County: Whatcom County (WA) Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: (mm/dd/yyyy) 09/06/2024 Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000 Grant Duration: 3 Years Details: Goals The Tourism Commission has the following goals for the program yet recognizes each proposal may not satisfy every goal.  Creates a meaningful artistic and cultural impact on local community and the visitors that attend.Celebrates the indoor food, restaurant, arts and culture scene that Bellingham has to offer. Prioritizes diversity, equity and inclusivity and supports BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and other historically marginalized communities. Integrates new and up & coming talent into the line-up. Provides a unique distinctive Pacific Northwest experience. For example, the event should not re-create what’s happening in Seattle.  Attracts a significant number of tourists, with an emphasis on the Canadian visitor and yields a strong likelihood of overnight stays Generates numerous secondary economic benefits. Promotes walkability, the food and restaurant scene, and highlights or incorporates, where appropriate, businesses, history, area attractions, other events and environmental stewardship.  Creates a long-lasting positive impression of the event and of Bellingham/Whatcom County.  Becomes self-sustaining after a few years – specifically, significant City funding is not required for longer than three years. Funding Information The anticipated commitment is up to three years for purposes of providing seed money necessary to launch a new event. Up to $100,000 is available for the first year and approximately $70,000 is available for the two following years for one or more signature events.  Eligible Expenses Marketing and operational expenses are eligible. Marketing expenses includes activities designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism and funding marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. Operation includes, but is not limited to, typical expenses associated with managing and operating an event such as supplies, equipment rentals, venue costs etc. For more information, visit City of Bellingham.

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Clean Fuels Products Shot: Supporting Carbon Utilization Products via Electrochemical Conversion and Refinery and Petrochemical Facilities Retrofitting The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) in collaboration with the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Awards made under this FOA will be funded, in whole or in part, with funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The activities to be funded under this Funding Opportunity Announcement support BIL Section 40302. Research and Development funded under this Funding Opportunity Announcement will support the Departments Clean Fuels Products Shots initiative, which was established to support the national goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 by developing the sustainable feedstocks and conversion technologies necessary to produce crucial fuels, materials, and carbon-based products that are better for the environment than current petroleum-derived components. It aims to meet projected 2050 net-zero emissions demands for 100 percent of aviation fuel; 50 percent of maritime, rail, and off-road fuel; and 50 percent of carbon-based chemicals by using sustainable carbon resources. Modification 000001: The purpose of this modification is to update wording within the Topic Area descriptions to clarify the Funding Opportunity Announcement does not restrict conversion of carbon oxides, change instances of "CO2" to "carbon" throughout the Funding Opportunity Announcement, and clarify the medium-term test requirement for Topic Area 1.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aligns with DOEs Office of Resource Sustainabilitys Methane Emissions Mitigation and Quantification Program to minimize emissions of methane during production, processing, and transportation across the oil and natural gas industry, with the goal of eliminating methane emissions from carbon-based fuel supply chains by 2030. Effective methane emissions mitigation strategies are dependent upon accurate quantification of both intentional and fugitive emissions from all elements across the natural gas infrastructure, including low producing oil and gas wells. Therefore, there is a continual need to maintain a state-of-the-industry understanding methane emissions mitigation opportunities and operation performance, through collection of empirical data, across oil and natural gas production and delivery regions of the United States. This is to maximize the value of these efforts to the public with the goals of reducing GHG emissions and improving environmental health and engagement of the affected public, (largely in disadvantaged or frontline communities). The FOA objective is to make funds available to a variety of entities for the purpose of mitigating methane emissions from marginal conventional wells (MCWs) and other oil and natural gas assets; accelerating the commercialization, scale-up and application of innovative methane emissions reduction technologies; and advancing the characterization and reduction of methane emissions through multi-scale, measurement-informed data collection and analysis. Modification 000001 is issued to update Section I.B. of the FOA to include clarifications regarding: Objectives and Background under AOI 3b; Activities Not of Interest under AOI 1 (1a, 1b, and 1c) and AOI 3 (3a and 3b); and well site and field test location as it relates to AOI 2 (2a, 2b, and 2c)
