DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

National Energy Technology

Laboratory; Notice of Availability of a

Financial Assistance Solicitation

AGENCY: National Energy Technology

Laboratory, Department of Energy

(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a

financial assistance solicitation.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the

intent to issue Financial Assistance

Solicitation No. DE–PS26–00NT41003

entitled ‘‘Infrastructure Reliability for

Natural Gas.’’ Natural gas consumption

in the U.S. is projected to reach or

exceed 32 trillion cubic feet (TCF) per

year by 2020, increasing from 22 TCF

per year in 1997. In addition, potential

lower emission targets for greenhouse

gases could even increase the demand

for natural gas as high as 35 TCF per

year. Maintaining the integrity and

efficiency of the gas infrastructure may

be the most important challenge to

achieving a substantial increase in gas

deliverability given the age of the

existing pipelines. Technological
