A -- INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE ENERGY AND/OR ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS OF WASTE GENERATION/TREATMENT PROCESS Sol. DE-PS48-95RO53195. Due 061595. Contact Point, Dennis D. Maez, 303-231-5750, Ext. 110. INNVOATIVE CONCEPTS PROGRAM The US DOE, Innovative Cocepts Program (InnCon), is soliciting grant applications from independent and small business inventors for advanced concepts having the potential to reduce the energy and/or enviromental costs of waste generation/treatment process. The concepts must be specific, differ substantially from existing practices or application, and not degrade the quality of the product or service being supplied. Proposed advanced concepts should have the potential to eliminate, reduce, or utilize gas, liquid, or solid waste streams. The InnCon is to identify promising new conepts fo saving energy or improving its utilization while improving industrial efficiency and maintaining the quality of the enviornment. Each proposal submitted will be reviewed and evaluated against established qualification and evaluation criteria. US DOE InnCon allocation will not exceed $500,000 with an intent to award up to 25 grants of approximately $20,000 each. Cost sharing is not mandatory Grant awards will require innovators to conduct a preliminary technical and market evaluation and to present their concepts to potential sponsors. Interested parties should contact the individual named above in writing to receive further program information. Federal Laboratories, Battele Memorial Institute, their affiliates and employees are not eligible. (097)
