The date for the Letter of Intent is 2/28/2006. The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to develop a durable, direct hydrogen fuel cell power system that reaches a peak efficiency of 60% and has a power density of 650 W/L, a specific power of 650 W/kg and a cost of $45/kW by 2010 ($30/kW by 2015). Additional technical performance and cost targets have been developed for components and sub-systems that comprise a complete fuel cell system. The research and development sought through this funding announcement will be focused on advancing fuel cell technology towards the 2010 technical performance and cost targets developed through the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership and detailed in the DOE Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and Infrastructure Technologies Program Multi-Year RD D Plan (MYPP), http://www.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/mypp/. The technologies must be scalable to be suitable across the spectrum of vehicle platforms. The targets are revised periodically to reflect advances in the technology. Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award. 4:01:51 PM Google It!    [Grants] The Alcan Prize for Sustainability Aluminum and packaging company Alcan, Inc. and the International Business Leaders Forum have announced the Call for Entries for the 2006 $1 million Alcan Prize for Sustainability. The Alcan Prize is open to all not-for-profit, nongovernmental, and civil-society organizations based anywhere in the world that are working to advance the goals of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The Alcan Prize was created to recognize the not-for-profit sector for its contributions to global sustainability, and to underline the belief that all sectors of society must work together to achieve sustainable development. Last year's Alcan Prize winner was the Aga Khan Planning and Building Services Pakistan. In addition, the program's Adjudication Panel named five other NGOs as recipients of grants worth $15,000 each; those grants allow a suitably qualified senior member of staff to participate in the one-year, part-time Postgraduate Certificate in Cross Sector Partnership accredited by the University of Cambridge (http://www.cpi.cam.ac.uk/pccp/). 12:32:27 PM Google It!
