Provides funding for innovative approaches to offer significant impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and advancing New York’s clean energy goals. NYSERDA is issuing Round 1 of funding for innovative research, development, and/or demonstration approaches in three Challenge Areas:
Buildings: materials, designs, and strategies for “low to carbon negative” envelope retrofits and/or new construction Enabling products, services, and strategies to reduce waste methane, increase carbon sequestration, optimize use of land, energy, natural resources
Advancements in measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification (MMRV) of GHG emissions and Co-Benefits
Projects can involve enabling technologies, novel business models and other scalable strategies. Successful projects will be able to self-sustain beyond the period funded by NYSERDA, catalyze additional private investment if needed, and may inform changes to policy. Submissions must demonstrate significant improvements over the current state of practice with scalable approaches to address the goals of New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, including GHG emissions reductions, benefits to rate payers, disadvantaged communities, resilience, and the environment.
A webinar is scheduled for November 3, 2022, 1 – 3 PM Eastern Standard Time. Please register here. In addition, a teaming list will be provided and updated on this website. Proposers who wish to be included on the public teaming list should submit the requested information to the Designated Contact to have their information added so others may contact them (Name, organization, email address, brief description of your capability, description of collaborations/ team members sought). Note, this is not required, it is purely optional for the purpose of facilitating teaming and bringing awareness to entities interested in collaboration in these topic areas. Presence on the teaming list does not constitute endorsement by NYSERDA – interested parties are strongly cautioned to perform their own due diligence.
