Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001728
The Department of Energy, through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), released a discretionary funding opportunity titled Advanced Combustion Technologies (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001728) to support applied research aimed at improving how coal is burned for power generation. The central goal is to fund projects that develop advanced combustion systems capable of keeping coal-based power plants economically competitive while moving strongly toward near-zero emissions of pollutants. In practical terms, the opportunity is looking for innovations that make existing coal generation cleaner and more efficient so facilities can continue operating, and that also help expand coal use in ways that better align with stringent air quality expectations.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means DOE anticipates being more actively involved than in a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, the agency often participates in project direction through collaboration, milestone reviews, and technical engagement, while the recipient still performs the work. The funding activity category is Energy and the CFDA number associated with the program is 81.089, indicating it falls under DOE assistance programs.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is generally open to a broad range of applicant types as long as they meet any conditions or clarifications that may be stated in the full announcement (particularly in the section called Additional Information on Eligibility). That usually leaves the door open for entities such as private companies, universities, national laboratories (where allowed), non-profits, and other organizations that can carry out applied research and development work relevant to advanced combustion.
In terms of anticipated scale, DOE listed an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award and expected to make about 6 awards, signaling a modest-sized portfolio of selected projects rather than a large number of smaller grants. The FOA was created on June 8, 2017. The original closing date is shown as August 8, 2017, with a note that applicants should rely on the official application due date details in the full FOA, which is where any amendments, revised deadlines, or submission requirements would be formally stated.
Overall, this funding opportunity is focused on applied, technology-forward combustion research with a clear performance target: meaningful progress toward near-zero pollutant emissions while preserving or improving the cost competitiveness of coal power. Projects responsive to this FOA would be expected to show credible pathways to cleaner combustion operation, practical integration into power generation contexts, and measurable emissions-related outcomes that support continued operation and potential expansion of coal-based electricity under tighter environmental constraints.Apply for DE FOA 0001728
