This funding supports applied research and development projects aimed at overcoming technical challenges in extracting subsurface resources such as oil, gas, geothermal energy, and minerals. Projects should address issues like low permeability, fracture conductivity, and resource recovery efficiency in complex geological formations. The goal is to develop disruptive technologies with significant potential to improve output and capacity, advancing new learning curves in energy resource extraction.
The opportunity is open to any type of entity without restrictions, subject to any additional clarifications in the official funding announcement. Applicants must register and submit through DOE eXCHANGE.
