The Office of Power Technologies (OPT) of the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is supporting the issuance of this Supplemental Announcement to the EERE Broad Based Solicitation for Submission of Financial Assistance Applications Involving Research, Development and Demonstration, DE-PS36-00GO10482. The Broad Based Solicitation contains information that must be used in conjunction with this Supplemental Announcement when applying for an award. Thus, in order to prepare a complete application, it is mandatory to comply with the requirements of the overall Broad Based Solicitation document, DE-PS36-00GO10482 (found on the Golden Field Office Home Page at http://www.eren.doe.gov/golden/solicitations.html) as well as the requirements of this Supplemental Announcement 01 document. Under this Supplemental Announcement, DOE is seeking research and development (R&D) proposals that can advance hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies. It is anticipated that projects may be selected for Phase I awards with a possible continuation into Phase II. DOE is proposing to undertake this effort under the Hydrogen Future Act of 1996, Public Law 104-271. This solicitation is for Phase I Financial Assistance Applications, and the Statement of Work (SOW) and budget information requested under this Supplemental Announcement should only address Phase I. The objective of Phase I is to develop detailed R&D plans to validate the proposed hydrogen concept, along with necessary preliminary R&D and the development of other supporting documentation. Awards for Phase I, if any, will result from a merit review process applied to the Phase I applications. Phase I will consist of activities leading to a detailed research and development plan with definitive milestones (i.e., a roadmap) and a proposed budget for Phase II. Phase I supporting activities and documentation may include preliminary R&D, analysis, and scoping studies to verify the proposed concept and identify how the project goals, schedule, etc., will be met. The Phase I deliverable to DOE will be a final report that includes the detailed results from these activities. If unable to access the internet, you may obtain a copy of the Solicitation by calling Amy Castelli at (303) 275-4716, FAX (303) 275-4788. Posted 10/22/99 (W-SN394265). (0295)
