Funding Opportunities
REAP will strive to keep this list as updated as possible, and we’ve tried to list the opportunities in order of due date. This is by no means a complete listing of funding opportunities and we have included some that extend to energy efficiency as well as those related to renewable energy. If you know of more opportunities, please call (907) 929-7770 or email s.nowers@REalaska.org

Department of Energy Announces $15 Million to Promote Innovative Geothermal Heat Recovery Methods and Technologies: The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Program today announced a $15 million funding opportunity to research and develop innovative methods to extract heat from geothermal resources from the Earth’s crust to produce clean, renewable energy. DOE’s objective through this funding is to promote the advancement and commercialization of technologies for heat recovery with potentially lower environmental, technical, and financial risks than currently available methods.
This funding opportunity seeks applicants to expand geothermal power generation into geologically diverse environments, such as permeable sedimentary formations, a widespread geologic resource of which a number of reservoirs are located in regions with high electricity prices. Naturally permeable rock formations not only reduce the need to increase permeability artificially, but also minimize the risk of rapid drawdown of the reservoir’s heat to allow for sustained heat recovery.
Prospective applicants for this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are encouraged to begin developing partnerships, formulating ideas, and gathering data for potential applications. An initial, pre-application concept paper is required to be eligible for submission of a full application. Pre-application concept papers will receive feedback from DOE regarding the responsiveness of the concept to the objectives of the FOA. The pre-application concept papers are due October 1, 2010 and eligible full applications will be due November 30, 2010. More info here
