1) Recovery Act Announcement: Secretary Chu Announces Nearly $50 Million
of Recovery Act Funding to Accelerate Deployment of Geothermal Heat
Pumps
Application Due Date: 08/06/2009, 11:59 PM Eastern Time
NOTE: Questions regarding the content of this announcement must be
submitted through FedConnect. Applicants must be registered in
FedConnect to submit or view Questions.
During a visit to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he toured a manufacturer of
geothermal heating pumps (GHPs), U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today
announced nearly $50 million from the American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act to advance commercial deployment of the renewable heating and
cooling systems, which use energy from below the Earth's surface to move
heat either into or away from the home or building. The expanded
manufacturing and installation of GHPs could aid in the creation of new
jobs while reducing the use of fossil fuels.
"The heat from the Earth represents a significant energy resource that
can be tapped to reduce emissions contributing to climate change." said
Secretary Chu. "Expanded use of GHPs in the United States will create
new jobs for engineers, manufacturers and technicians while at the same
broadening our nation's clean and renewable energy portfolio."
DOE today is announcing opportunities for geothermal heat pump projects
in three areas.
1. Innovative Technology Demonstrations: Cost-shared technology
demonstration projects that retrofit/incorporate a minimum of 50 tons of
heating and cooling capacity and can be deployed in various geological
conditions and climate zones in either residential communities or
commercial buildings. Selected projects will incorporate innovative
business and financing strategies, and focus on technological improves
to speed marketplace deployment.
2. Life Cycle Cost Tools: Projects that will assist in determining
project feasibility by gathering and analyzing data related to system
costs, performance, and installation techniques which will help decrease
life-cycle cost applications for GHPs.
3. National Certification and Accreditation: A national
certification and accreditation program for the GHP industry designed to
increase consumer confidence in the technology, reduce the potential for
improperly installed systems, and assure product quality and
performance.

DOE has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled,
"Recovery Act: Wind Energy Consortia between Institutions of Higher
Learning and Industry." This funding was originally announced by
Secretary Chu on April 29. The FOA provides $24 million for the
development of consortia between universities and industry to focus on
critical wind energy challenges. The FOA and can be found at FedConnect
< https://www.fedconnect.net/Fedconnect/> by searching for the Reference
Number DE-FOA-0000090.
This $24 million program initiative will fund consortia between
institutions of higher learning and industry that will perform focused
research on critical wind energy challenges. DOE intends to award 2-3
grants. The maximum range of a DOE award will be between $8-12 million.
Applicants must provide at least a 10% cost share of total project costs
including at least 20% for R&D. DOE funds will be provided under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to preserve and create
jobs, promote economic recovery, and provide investments needed to
increase wind energy R&D.
NOTE: Questions regarding the content of this announcement must be
submitted through FedConnect. Applicants must be registered in
FedConnect to submit or view Questions.
