The Geothermal Energy Program of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing a Supplemental Announcement to EERE's Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of Financial Assistance Applications Involving Research, Development and Demonstration, DE-PS36-99GO10383, dated November 9, 1998. Under the Supplemental Announcement, the Geothermal Energy Program is soliciting Applications to identify, examine, and evaluate innovative ideas with a significant potential to reduce the cost of geothermal technology or increase economic geothermal resources through cost-shared research and development activities. The DOE Geothermal Energy Program consists primarily of research, development, and field validation to reduce the cost of using geothermal energy in all its forms. Its mission is to work in partnership with U.S. industry to establish geothermal energy as a sustainable, environmentally sound, economically competitive contributor to the U.S. and world energy supply. Research proposals are sought for evaluation of the scientific feasibility, technical merit and commercial potential of ideas in the following topical areas: drilling; energy conversion; fracture detection and analysis; heat recovery systems; and by-product recovery and waste management. Awards under this Supplemental Announcement will be Cooperative Agreements for Phase I research with a term of up to 12 months. Subject to funding availability, the total DOE funding available under this Supplemental Announcement will be $300,000, with individual awards not to exceed $75,000 of DOE funding. All information regarding the Supplemental Announcement will be posted on the DOE Golden Field Office Home Page at http://www.eren.doe.gov/golden/solicit.htm.
