📢 DOE Intends to Fund Large-Scale CSP Technologies

Areas of interest to include solar collectors, receivers and reactors, and novel power cycles.

Solar Energy Technologies Office  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) announced its intent to fund the Concentrating Solar Flux to Heat and Power funding opportunity, which will award up to $30 million for innovative projects that accelerate the large-scale development and deployment of concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technology. CSP technologies offer unique value as a renewable energy resource that can readily deliver high-temperature heat and incorporate energy storage for on-demand solar power.   DOE expects to release the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) in March 2024. SETO is interested in funding projects in three topic areas:   Topic Area 1: Scalable Concentrating Solar Collectors  Topic Area 2: Scalable Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) Turbomachinery  Topic Area 3: Scalable Concentrating Solar-thermal Receivers and Reactors  The goals of the intended FOA will be aligned with DOE's target of levelized cost of heat of $0.02 per kilowatt-hour, and levelized cost of electricity of $0.05 kilowatt-hour. The FOA will also support the goals of the DOE's Industrial Heat Shot, Hydrogen Shot, and Clean Fuels & Products Shot.   Download the full notice of intent and learn more about other open funding opportunities within DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
