- Description
- This is a sources sought announcement for written information only. This is not a solicitation for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. No telephone calls will be accepted. In preparation for a future procurement, The Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC) Engineering Service Center (ESC) is seeking the technology to capture and control carbon dioxide emissions from a peaking power plant using algae. Toward this end, commercial providers of this technology will be identified. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), including carbon dioxide, will be scrutinized and regulated in the near future. California has already passed into law AB32 which will require a, ??greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions levels in 1990 to be achieved by 2020.? The Mari ne Corps owns a 7.5 megawatt, natural gas-powered peaking plant which is located in the Mojave Desert and subject to future GHG regulations. A feasible solution is to capture the carbon dioxide emitted from the plant using algae. Carbon dioxide emitted from the power plant will become the source of carbon for the growing algae. The algae can then be used not only in carbon sequestration, but also as a feedstock in biodiesel, syngas or power production. Respondents should provide the following information about their carbon sequestration technology: Name and address of company, company point-of-contact with phone and fax number (email address if available), narrative description of their process, a process flow diagram, and potential reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. In the process narrative, NAVFAC ESC is particularly interested in information regarding operation and maintenance costs of the algae system. There should also be sufficient detai l to allow the government to determine the state of development of the technology and its suitability for a funded demonstration. Responses to this announcement will serve as a first step for evaluating alternatives. This announcement is not a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The applicable NAICS codes are 423730--air pollution control equipment, merchant wholesalers--and 333411--air purification equipment manufacturing--with a size limitation standard of 500 employees. Interested sources must submit any comments and information via email to casey.barker@navy.mil no later than 20 January 2008. Responses received after this deadline may not be considered. Since this is a sources sought announcement, no evaluation letters will be issued to the participants.
