Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002684

DE-FOA-0002684 is a Department of Energy (DOE) Notice of Intent (NOI) announcing the agency's plan to issue a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DE-FOA-0002614, titled "Carbon Management." This notice is essentially an advance heads-up to the public that DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), under the Fossil Energy and Carbon Management portfolio, expects to solicit applications for financial assistance awards focused on carbon management priorities. The core purpose described is to encourage projects that "highlight the carbon management equities" within Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, which generally points to efforts that reduce, capture, store, transport, or otherwise manage carbon emissions and carbon-related impacts within energy systems.

A key point is that this posting is not the actual funding solicitation. DOE explicitly states that DE-FOA-0002684 is informational only and that the Department is not accepting applications under this Notice of Intent. In other words, organizations cannot apply for funding through this NOI; they would need to wait for the planned FOA (DE-FOA-0002614) to be formally released and then follow the official application instructions and requirements in that later announcement.

From an administrative and classification standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary program and indicates the anticipated funding instrument type as a cooperative agreement, meaning that if awards are ultimately made under the later FOA, DOE would typically expect substantial involvement in the project during performance (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The funding activity category is energy, and the program is associated with CFDA number 81.089, which corresponds to DOE research and development assistance programs. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different entity types, subject to any additional eligibility details that would be provided in the full FOA text when issued.

The listing includes basic dates and funding fields that are typical for federal opportunity records, with a creation date of February 23, 2022 and an original closing date of March 23, 2022. However, because this is only a Notice of Intent and DOE is not accepting applications under it, those dates should be interpreted as administrative posting timeframes rather than a true application deadline. Likewise, the record shows an award ceiling of 2 and expected awards of 0, which reinforces that this particular notice is not structured as an active competition making awards. For practical purposes, interested applicants should treat DE-FOA-0002684 as an early signal to monitor DOE/NETL communications and prepare for the forthcoming DE-FOA-0002614, where the real scope, topic areas, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, cost-share expectations, and funding levels would be defined.
