**ACTION:** Solicitation for Financial Assistance: DE-PS07-01ID14181,
Emerging Technology Deployment Solicitation.

# SUMMARY

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho Operations Office (ID) is
soliciting the submission of proposals for field testing of technologies
to reduce energy consumption, enhance economic competitiveness, and
reduce environmental impacts, specifically in the Industries of the
Future (IOF) industrial sectors. The objective of the solicitation is to
find ways to mitigate the risk to industries of accepting and using
emerging technologies developed by the IOF initiatives. It is not the
intent of DOE-ID to solicit research and development projects.

This solicitation is commissioned on behalf of the DOE's Office of
Industrial Technologies (OIT) Best Practices Program, which has been
established to provide integrated delivery of energy-saving products,
services, and technologies to the nine IOF sectors. Additional
information about the Best Practices Program can be found on the website
(http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices). The IOF industry-specific vision
documents and technology roadmaps are available at
http://www.oit.doe.gov/ under individual IOF program areas.

DOE anticipates making approximately 3 to 5 cooperative agreement awards
with total estimated DOE funding of up to \$2 M, with no individual
award for more than \$600,000, and a timeframe of no more than three
years. The cooperative agreements will be awarded in accordance with DOE
Financial Assistance Regulations, Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Chapter II Subchapter H, Part 600 (10 CFR 600). Award of a
cooperative agreement under this solicitation does not commit the
Government to fund any follow-on activities. Successful applicants will
be required to submit quarterly, annual, and final reports to DOE and
attend annual program review meetings.

# COST SHARE

The DOE Office of Industrial Technologies requires a minimum of fifty
per cent (50%) non-federal cost-share across its portfolio of projects.
This solicitation is requiring 50% cost share to ensure industrial
involvement in each of the proposals and to ensure that the novel,
energy efficient processes developed by this program will be fully field
tested by industry. There will be no waivers of this cost share
requirement.

Cost share may be provided as cash or as in-kind contributions. Cost
share may not be from other federal funding, including federal funding
of a national laboratory through another contract vehicle. The financial
assistance regulations discuss cost share in references 10 CFR 600.123
and 10 CFR 600.127 located at the following URL:
<http://www.pr.doe.gov/f600toc.html>.

# SECTION I: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

## Background

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE), through its Office of Industrial Technologies
(OIT), supports industries in their efforts to increase energy
efficiency, reduce waste, and increase productivity. The goal of OIT is
to accelerate the development and use of advanced energy efficient,
renewable, and pollution prevention technologies that benefit industry,
the environment, and U.S. energy security. OIT's core program activities
evolve through field testing of the Industries of the Future (IOF)
strategy, i.e., by partnering with industry for joint research,
development, demonstration, and field testing to reach the industry-wide
vision goals. To date, OIT has established such partnerships with the
following, nine materials and processing industry sectors: agriculture,
aluminum, chemicals, forest products, glass, metalcasting, mining,
petroleum, and steel. Each of the nine industrial sectors, also known as
the IOF industrial sectors, has developed a vision document defining the
industry-specific vision for the future and one or more technology
roadmaps that identify the technologies needed to reach the industry's
vision goals. This solicitation seeks proposals for field testing
projects that address the needs identified in IOF vision documents and
associated technology roadmaps. Negotiations with successful applicants
will result in cost-shared cooperative agreements.

This solicitation is commissioned on behalf of the OIT Best Practices
Program, which has been established to provide integrated delivery of
energy-saving products, services, and technologies to the nine IOF
sectors. Using a plant-wide systems approach, the Best Practices Program
focuses its activities on two major mission areas:

> \* Bringing emerging technologies into use by IOF sectors, and
>
> \* Providing technical assistance targeting immediate cost-saving
> opportunities and productivity improvements for IOF customers.

This solicitation is intended to support the Best Practices Program
mission area of bringing emerging technologies into use. Additional
information about the Best Practices Program can be found on the Program
Website (http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices). The IOF
industry-specific vision documents and technology roadmaps are available
at http://www.oit.doe.gov/ under individual IOF program areas.

## Project Description

Since the introduction of the IOF strategy in 1994, many technologies
have been undertaken for research, development, and demonstration by
OIT/industry partnerships (referred to as the OIT-supported
technologies) and have progressed through the demonstration phase ready
for full-scale field testing. An exemplary list of such technologies is
provided in Appendix A. Also, other non-OIT technologies, such as those
supported by industry and/or other federal programs, have been advanced
to the same stage of field testing readiness, with demonstrated
applicability and benefits to IOF sectors.

The Best Practices Program intends to accomplish facilitating broad
industrial acceptance of these technologies by providing cost-shared
support through this solicitation for their field testing at IOF
manufacturing and processing facilities. Thus, this solicitation seeks
industry cost-shared projects to field test OIT-supported or non-OIT
technologies that meet the following requirements:

> \* Address the needs in IOF vision documents and technology roadmaps;
>
> \* Have completed research and development and have progressed through
> a demonstration at a pilot-scale or full-scale facility, with
> demonstrated performance benefits in energy efficiency and emissions
> reductions, but have not been commercialized;
>
> \* Have potential to result in significant improvements in energy
> efficiency, environmental performance, and economic competitiveness
> across the industry.

Projects of most interest will be those that show significant energy
savings and large market penetration either through multiple field
testings within one industrial sector or broad applicability across all
IOF sectors. While considering the program policy factors, the DOE
Source Selection Official may give preference to those OIT-supported
technologies for selection for award negotiation.

> **APPENDIX A**
>
> **EXEMPLARY LIST OF OIT - DEVELOPED**
>
> **TECHNOLOGIES READY FOR FIELD TESTING**
>
> The technologies listed in this section have been identified as ready
> for field testing, having been developed under Office of Industrial
> Technologies (OIT) support through a pilot-scale or field
> demonstration phase with demonstrated performance benefits as compared
> to the baseline practice. This list is intended to serve as a
> reference resource for those Industries of the Future (IOF)
> manufacturing plants that are interested in field testing new
> technologies to improve energy efficiency of plant operations, but
> which need a place to start searching for technologies pertinent to
> their specific applications. The list is not intended to be either
> inclusive of all OIT-supported technologies ready for field testing or
> exclusive of all other energy-efficient technologies for field testing
> assistance under this solicitation. Again, this list is exemplary,
> showing a portfolio of diverse technologies available for field
> testing. Technologies not shown on this list are also invited for
> submission as long as they have been developed, with or without OIT
> support, through the stage of a pilot-scale or field demonstration and
> have met all other solicitation requirements.
>
> The technologies are listed by primary IOF industrial sector or under
> the category of Crosscutting Technologies if the technology
> applicability is similar in extent for more than one IOF sector. A
> reference for additional information is provided for each cited
> technology. The referenced information can be downloaded from the
> listed Website or obtained by contacting the OIT Clearinghouse at
> (800) 862-2086.
>
> The following technologies have been supported by the OIT, are at
> varying stages of commercial readiness, and are ready for field
> testing.
