DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Chicago Operations Office, Office of Industrial Technologies,
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; Meeting for a New Generation of
Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engines

AGENCY: DOE, Chicago Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of an Open Meeting for a New Generation of Natural-Gas-
Fired Reciprocating Engines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: High efficiency and clean burning natural-gas-fired
reciprocating

[[Page 50500]]

engines in the 0.3 to 3.0 MW range are expected to meet a significant
portion of the demand for distributed generation by the ``Industries of
the Future.'' The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to establish
partnerships with manufacturers, vendors, suppliers, research
organizations, universities, regulators, end users and other committed
stakeholders that will expand opportunities for gas-fired reciprocating
engines. On September 24, 1999 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, an open meeting
will be held at: Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, 480 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W.,
Washington, DC 2002, 202-484-1000. The purpose of the meeting is to
start a roadmap that outlines the mission, goals, technical activities,
and priorities of a five-year program (2000-2004). The intent is to
develop, test, and demonstrate a new generation of gas-fired
reciprocating engine systems that will be cleaner, more fuel efficient,
longer lived, more rugged, and lower cost than the existing fleet of
products. The roadmap will emphasize the future role of gas-fired
reciprocating engines for distributed power generation in the
``Industries of the Future.'' The specifics of this roadmap will result
from extensive collaboration with industry and other partners. It is
expected that the roadmap will start with preliminary studies that
scope and quantify the benefits of specific technologies relative to
the existing engine fleet. Subsequent to the completion of
developmental activities, the roadmap will culminate with long-term
engine demonstrations. Persons planning to attend this meeting are
asked to provide prior notification (including name, mailing address,
phone and fax number, and electronic mail address) via electronic mail
([email protected]) or fax (410-423-2193). As further information
becomes available, it will be posted at the following Internet site
www.ch.doe.gov/business/ACQ.htm.

DATES and ADDRESSES: An open meeting will be held on September 24, 1999
from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. (EST). The meeting will be held at Lowes
L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, 480 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W. , Washington, DC 2002,
(202) 484-1000.
