CCPC Directed Funding Opportunity
The Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry (CCPC) is a research collaboration among five National Laboratories sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). The goal of CCPC is to integrate experimental and computational capabilities to address real-world complexities and enable the advancement of renewable energy technologies. CCPC is overseeing a Directed Funding Opportunity (DFO) to apply their expertise and tools in partnership with external partners to accelerate progress toward these goals.
A DFO funds competitively-selected Cooperative Research and Development Agreements between BETO laboratory consortia and partners from industry and academia. The CCPC DFO seeks proposals that leverage the unique, world-class capabilities in the CCPC consortium and apply these capabilities toward addressing specific challenges identified by applicants.
For this DFO, teams may submit proposals under two topic areas:
- Projects related to biomass feedstock pre-processing, feeding, or deconstruction/conversion
- Projects related to catalyst design and optimization and/or catalytic upgrading processes
All proposals must partner with a current National Laboratory member of the CCPC. Proposals on projects at atomic, meso, and reactor-scale are welcome.
Up to $2,500,000 will be made available for this call. CCPC anticipates a total of 2 to 5 projects will be selected with a project duration of two years.
More information can be found on CCPC's website.
