Closed Competition: CGP ETF 2009 Energy Research Competition For Joint U.S.-Estonian Research Teams
This competition is closed. The deadline was December 1, 2009.
In cooperation with the Estonia Science Foundation (ETF), CRDF announced a joint 2009 Energy Research Competition, which provided awards of approximately $50,000 for up to two years of support to joint research teams of U.S. and Estonian scientists and engineers. Applications had to fall under one of the following two (2) areas of energy research and development: Clean Fossil Fuels Energy and Renewable Energy
I. Clean Fossil Fuels Energy:
- Minimization of CO2 emissions in energy production;
- Sustainable mining;
- Solid fossil fuels high yield liquefaction technologies;
- Effective use of wastes from solid fossil fuels energy production;
- Gasoline and diesel-fuel or their components production from solid fossil fuels
II. Renewable Energy:
- Second generation biofuels (algae, cellulose);
- H2-Energy;
- Effective energy storing;
- Solar energy;
- Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers;
- Smart Grids - Bridging Over Different Energy Resources
CRDF accepted applications from all natural sciences.
CRDF received funding for this program from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
