The Notice Of Intent is for informational purposes only and Department Of Energy is not seeking comments on the information contained in the notice. This is a Notice of Intent to Issue Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-FOA-0001994, titled, Next Generation Gasifier Concepts and Components to Advance Modular Coal Gasification Coal fueled power plants compete in a marketplace with an increasing amount of renewable power generation assets. Advanced power generation technologies are called upon to respond to increasingly more demanding needs with respect to fuel flexibility, fast response rate to steep load changes, and capability to turn down to very low idle loads while maintaining reasonable efficiency. Development of advanced approaches to small scale, modular gasification may offer high levels of flexibility in operation to meet these needs. The Gasification Systems Program element of the AES Program recognizes the need for research to develop advanced technology that can implement coal gasification processes into small modular systems in such a way that the total capital cost required to build an energy system is reduced, as well as, working towards increasing the efficiency of producing coal syngas for applications in power generation or combined heat and power through process and or reaction intensification. Full Applications are not being accepted under this Notice of Intent.
