The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards totaling $137 million for small businesses in 30 states.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) announced $41.4 million in federal funding for 50 impactful projects across 17 National Laboratories to propel energy solutions. The funding is made available through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Base Annual Appropriations Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) awarded $4.36 million in funding to seven projects as part of the 2023 Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) call by the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC). Funded and led by BETO, the FCIC is a consortium of researchers at nine national laboratories dedicated to reducing the risk of biorefinery scale-up.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has released a Request for Information (RFI) on Renewable Propane Production Technologies and Uses to better understand the supply chains for production and uses of renewable propane and other renewable gaseous intermediates. Specifically, this RFI (DE-FOA-0003389) seeks input from industry and other stakeholders who produce, or are considering producing, renewable propane on the potential to increase its viability to pursue new production pathways to sustainable aviation fuels and other high-impact products.

15 teams are advancing as finalists in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) AlgaePrize 2023–2025 competition. Finalist teams were selected by a panel of judges who reviewed and scored the required 10-page research synopsis that described each team’s research plan for their proposed project within the AlgaePrize’s areas of interest.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), have jointly released the Progression to Net-Zero Emission Propulsion Technologies for the Off-Road Sector request for information (RFI). The purpose of this RFI is to understand the off-road sector alternative propulsion technology preferences, technologies that seem most promising, and the key barriers to achieving the transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.

The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced $1.35 million in Phase 2 funding for three projects to accelerate wood heater innovation and develop the next generation of efficient and clean wood heaters.

A competition engaging students from middle school to graduate school led by the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). Students pursue innovative ideas for the development, design, and invention of technologies within the commercial algae value chain.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) announced the 2024 community partner selectees for the Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Technical Assistance for State, Local, and Tribal Governments Program. The program will provide technical assistance for 20 communities in 14 states.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is overseeing a call for industry partnerships to connect industry stakeholders with the capabilities of the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC). This funding opportunity will provide resources that allow partners to collaborate with FCIC researchers to address the cost and risk impacts of feedstock and process variability across the bioenergy and bioproducts value chain.
