The mission of DOE is to ensure the U.S.’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. Three funding programmes are open to EU-based researchers and EU organizations: the Office of Science (DOE-Office of Science) Financial Assistance Program; the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE-EERE) Financial Assistance; and the Office of Fossil Energy through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE-NETL) Financial Assistance.

Programe

Office of Fossil Energy - National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Financial Assistance

Programe Description

Ensuring that the United States can continue to rely on clean, affordable energy from domestic traditional fuel resources is the primary mission of DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy. Fossil fuels supply 85% of the U.S.’s energy, and the Office is working on such priority projects as pollution-free coal plants, more productive oil and gas fields, and the continuing readiness of federal emergency oil stockpiles. DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory Most R&D procurements and competitive solicitations for the Office of Fossil Energy are coordinated by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). As part of DOE’s national laboratory system, NETL supports DOE’s mission to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States. NETL implements a broad spectrum of energy and environmental research and development (R&D) programs. In addition to research conducted onsite, NETL’s project portfolio includes R&D conducted through partnerships, cooperative research and development agreements, financial assistance, and contractual arrangements with universities and the private sector.
