Get Funding for Innovative Power Plant Cooling Tech
Posted: May 28, 2013
Summary
Power plant operators and researchers, secure funding for groundbreaking dry cooling technologies that dramatically reduce water usage. This NSF & EPRI collaboration supports transformative ideas to solve the energy-water nexus challenge.
Eligibility
Full Description
The Directorate of Engineering at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have established a collaboration to jointly address the critical problem of water usage and consumption in power plant cooling. The "water-for-energy" issue is an important piece of the Energy-Water nexus. The goal of this collaboration is to leverage the complementary missions of applied research and commercialization (EPRI) and fundamental research and education (NSF) to foster enabling research and technology development that will lead to significant reductions or elimination of the use of water for cooling power plants.Through this joint collaboration, NSF and EPRI jointly solicit proposals with transformative ideas that meet the detailed requirements in this solicitation.
