Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF) and the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU), have successfully scaled up a bio-based process that converts ethanol into a valuable precursor for consumer products, such as paints, coatings, and diapers. The researchers worked with industry partner, Industrial Microbes, to develop the technology.
Each year, the hydrogen community eagerly counts down the days to October 8. Why? Because 10/08 = 1.008, the same sequence of numbers as the atomic weight of hydrogen! And the U.S. Department of Energy is keeping the fun rolling all week long.
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management recently announced up to $4 million in federal funding to advance clean hydrogen production through the use of reversible fuel cells.
A multi-country, government-led initiative dedicated to advancing the global transition to a bio-based economy, unveiled a new Global Biomass Resource Assessment, providing groundbreaking data on current and future biomass supplies around the world.
The U.S. aviation sector, responsible for around 2% of the nation’s annual carbon emissions, is a key target for emissions reduction—but there are many technical and logistical hurdles remaining when conceptualizing an efficient, scaled future for the production and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
DOE today announced $8,055,000 to to support seven projects that will advance efficient, scalable, high-throughput, and high-quality processes for manufacturing fuel cell and electrolyzer materials through the Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Consortium.
Join the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™️) consortium on Oct. 16, 2024, 2–2:45 p.m. ET, for a webinar titled, A Primer on Using Analysis to Guide Plastic Circularity.
Tune in to PBS’s newest season of Energy Switch! U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) Director, Dr. Valerie Sarisky-Reed, will be interviewed on Energy Switch’s upcoming season to discuss the importance of biofuels to the U.S. bioeconomy and the progress that has been made to support energy innovation and research.
This funding opportunity from DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will support research and development of technologies that convert biomass and other waste materials into an affordable, low-carbon fuel.
The Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge Program (BRIDGES) is partnering with the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) to host the BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 Virtual Workshop from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024. Educators will be introduced to bioenergy national laboratory research that can be integrated into classrooms. Bioenergy knowledge is not required.
