A--Request for Information - sCO2 Brayton Cycle Energy Conversion R&D Program

The Department of Energy is soliciting input from interested stakeholders to support the ongoing development of its supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton Cycle Energy Conversion research and development program. This request for information aims to gather comments, feedback, and recommendations that will help guide future efforts in enhancing energy conversion technologies related to sCO2 Brayton cycles. Alongside this RFI, the DOE has scheduled energy conversion discussions as a dedicated breakout session at the Advanced Power Cycles Workshop, sponsored by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), which will take place on June 23-24, 2014, in Washington, D.C. Respondents are invited to submit their responses to the RFI by July 9, 2014, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This effort is part of the DOE's broader initiative to develop advanced power cycle technologies that improve efficiency and reduce costs in energy generation systems. The solicitation encourages contributions that address technical challenges, potential applications, and innovative approaches within the sCO2 Brayton cycle domain.
