Lou - thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I thought you deserved the weekend to you rself so here is some basic information on the project. Let me know if you'd like me to package the NOFO, award letter, and project summary and send it over.
The award is under the IDP in OCED. Award# DE-CD0000108 The project is well underway (almost at FID) and deploying state of the art US tech to prove burning blue H2 from Permian nat gas in industrial furnace (chemicals) and gas turbine (electricity). Also, there are Al customers waiting for success of project given interest in new turbine tech (GE Vernova).
Thanks again for any updates,

Lou - I hope this finds you well. I've seen this list with terminations of grants floating around DC and it appears ExxonMobil's Baytown Olifins Plant hydrogen burner grant is on this list. Are these just options? How far along in the process is this list? Just trying to figure out what the status of all this is.
Thanks and I appreciate any information you can provide.
Have a great weekend.
Toby
