DOE Request for Information (RFI): Defining Sustainable Maritime Fuels in the United States<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgrants.gov%2Fsearch-results-detail%2F357760&data=05%7C02%7Ccce-faculty-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C354dec54c60d4eb0268c08dd306c7d27%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638719967868522246%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=IL7w2lCtz%2BqztA5snY2gMpHG0B8JMd9%2FIX%2BPTTMMS2o%3D&reserved=0>
This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to engage industry, government, and maritime stakeholders for feedback on how to define "Sustainable Maritime Fuel." While this RFI is being published by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), DOE is also working with other agencies to support the development of an SMF definition; these agencies include but are not limited to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Department of State, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Responses Due:
February 28, 2025

This collaborative effort seeks feedback on a variety of aspects that may affect the eventual SMF definition, including but not necessarily limited to: minimum carbon intensity reductions, sustainability factors, criteria air pollutant inclusion (e.g. NOx, SOx, and particulate matter), acceptable feedstocks, how to align with global requirements (e.g. International Maritime Organization (IMO) and FuelEU), and whether accounting for emission reduction technologies (such as onboard carbon capture) should be included.

FORTE (Frontlines Of Rapidly Transforming Ecosystems) is the first Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS) mission to apply the unique advantages of high resolution, ecosystem-scale, and suborbital passive and active remote sensing observations to explicitly link hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological processes in Arctic land-ocean systems. This program element seeks to formulate the FORTE Science Team, which will be in place for a four-year period (spring 2026-2030) and will participate in a multi-year field campaign to address the science objectives of the FORTE mission.

The purpose of the S&CC program solicitation is to accelerate the creation of novel intelligent technologies and concepts through high-risk/high-reward research that addresses major challenges and issues faced by communities across the US. A "smart and connected community" is defined as a community that synergistically integrates intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments and with the functions of civic institutions and organizations. To meet the goals of the program, researchers should work with community stakeholders to identify and define challenges the community faces, using that interaction and input to generate high-impact, use-inspired, basic research that advances science and engineering.
