The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is solely to solicit public input for DOE’s consideration. DOE will consider input received in response to this RFI in developing an Advance Notice of Intent to prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). The PEIS would analyze the environmental impacts of potential DOE programs to support the development and demonstration of engineered high energy crops, such as those being investigated under ARPA-E’s Plants Engineered to Replace Oil (PETRO) program, through field trials. Information regarding the PETRO program is available at: http://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=arpa-e-programs/petro.
THIS IS A RFI ONLY. THIS RFI IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR FINANCIAL INCENTIVES. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT FUTURE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES OR OTHER ACTIVITIES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN AS A RESULT OF THIS RFI OR ANY SUBSEQUENT PEIS.
