The US Department of Transportation is announcing a funding opportunity for a Climate Change and Transportation Research Initiative to advance the research and technology needed to tackle the Nation’s climate and transportation challenges. The initiative will be led by a university or nonprofit and funded at $2.5 million in the first year, subject to renewal up to five years. US DOT seeks proposals focused on advancing research and technologies that support the Nation’s goals to decarbonize the transportation sector by 2050, strengthen resilience of the Nation’s transportation infrastructure, and address adverse environmental impacts created by the transportation system.

The Thriving Communities Program will offer deep-dive technical assistance to through cooperative agreements with eligible entities. Entities awarded a cooperative agreement will be “capacity builders” that will directly assist local governments that request technical assistance. Priority is given to assisting communities that are disadvantaged and/or transportation burdened or those that have limited technical capacity or budgets.

Eligible TCP capacity builders should propose strategies to provide deep-dive technical assistance, planning and capacity building and build a robust Community of Practice involving diverse transportation and community stakeholders. Specifically, this includes facilitating the scoping, planning, development and delivery of transportation and community revitalization activities that increase mobility, reduce pollution from transportation sources, expand affordable transportation options, facilitate efficient land use, preserve or expand jobs, improve housing conditions, enhance connections to health care, education, and food security, or improve health outcomes.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announces the availability of up to $100 million in Federal funding to repair and replace existing, but non-operational, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Under this NOFO entitled Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator, the Government intends to award multiple grants to eligible applicants. Eligible applicants for this program are limited to State departments of transportation and local governments. See the complete NOFO document for details on the program requirements, applicant eligibility, and application content and submittal instructions.

New Energy Nexus and COP28 have teamed up to bring you a one-of-a-kind climate tech startup program leading up to COP28, the global climate summit this year hosted in Dubai.

The program is designed to accelerate early-stage climate tech startups from around the world. Our mission is to strengthen capacity building, increase new capital channels, and create new commercial opportunities for entrepreneurs early in their startup journey.

Early stage climate tech startups building innovations in the following COP28 Presidential Action Areas: Renewable Energy I Energy Storage I Energy Efficiency I Built Environment I Carbon Capture I Transportation and Mobility I Climate Finance & Architecture I Food I Agtech and Water are encouraged to apply.

The overarching goal of the PROPEL-1K program is to advance emission-free, high-energy density, and high-power energy storage solutions to electrify domestic aircraft, railroads, and ships. It cannot be overemphasized that traditional strategies for developing batteries and ESS are not envisaged for this program, especially since they would almost certainly fall far short of achieving the primary goals. Specific program objectives considered to be critical for accomplishing this mission include the following:
1. gravimetric energy density ≥ 1000 Wh/kg;
2. volumetric energy density ≥ 1000 Wh/L;
3. turnaround time ≤ 30 minutes;
4. discharge energy efficiency ≥ 70%;
5. target system size 1 MWh to 100 MWh;
6. system manufacture ≤ 100 kg CO2/kWh; and
7. zero CO2, NOx, SOX emissions during operation of vehicle, vessel, or aircraft

The program will have two categories: A and B. Projects in Category A will target energy storage for electrifying regional flights by achieving greater peak power and continuous power capability with a higher cost base. Projects in Category B will aim for energy storage solutions for railroad and ship transit that require lower peak power and continuous power capability with a reduced levelized cost.

Are you a company (for-profit entity) who received support from DOE through a research, development, and/or demonstration financial assistance agreement or prize program in the last 5 years? This opportunity is designed to provide additional support in the form of a voucher for help with market assessment, business plan formulation, fundraising road-mapping (from both public and private sources), and commercialization strategy.

The DOE Voucher Program builds bridges between U.S. entrepreneurs, businesses, technology developers or other relevant partners and third-party voucher providers to advance commercialization of innovative energy technologies. Voucher Opportunity (VO-4) includes market research, business plans, fundraising road-mapping (from both public and private sources), and other commercialization strategy assistance for companies who have received funding from DOE’s RD&D programs. The first submission window (Sept 26) solicits proposals from potential voucher providers. A second submission window (Nov 7) will be open soon to solicit requests from potential voucher recipients.

States, local governments, tribes, and other Authority Having Jurisdictions (AHJs) interested in learning about and facilitating clean energy demonstration project siting and permitting processes should take advantage of this voucher opportunity. This opportunity is designed to help AHJs streamline siting and permitting processes to advance commercialization and demonstration of innovative clean energy technologies.

The DOE Voucher Program builds bridges between U.S. entrepreneurs, businesses, technology developers or other relevant partners and third-party voucher providers to advance commercialization of innovative energy technologies.
