Aluminum Partnerships Solicitation

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho Operations Office (ID) is seeking applications for cost-shared research and development of technologies which will enhance economic competitiveness, and reduce energy consumption and environmental impacts for the aluminum industry. The research is to address research priorities identified by the aluminum industry in the ``Aluminum Industry Technology Roadmap'' (November 1997) for the aluminum sector areas of Primary Aluminum Production, Semi-Fabricated Products, and Finished Products. Approximately $4,000,000 in federal funds ($2,000,000 in fiscal year 1998 funds and $2,000,000 in fiscal year 1999 funds) is available to totally fund the first year of selected research efforts. DOE anticipates making five to six cooperative agreement awards for projects with durations of four years or less. A minimum 30% non- federal cost share is required for research and development projects. Collaborations between industry, national laboratory, and university participants are encouraged.
