By Erin Voegele | April 22, 2014


The U.S. DOE has announced its intent to offer up to $4 billion in Section 1703 loan guarantees to support a wide variety of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, including those for drop-in biofuels and waste-to-energy. A 30-day comment period on the scope of the final solicitation is now open.

The DOE issued a draft loan guarantee solicitation on April 16 for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in the U.S. that avoid, reduce or sequester greenhouse gases. Once finalized, the solicitation is expected to make as much as $4 billion in loan guarantees available to help commercialize technologies that may be unable to obtain full commercial financing. According to the DOE, the solicitation is intended to support technologies that are catalytic, replicable and market ready.

........... good stuff there!
