The U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO) will hold its 2027 Peer Review Meeting during the week of April 19, 2027, in Arlington, Virginia.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO) is interested in converting waste to energy.

Systems Development and Integration (SDI) technologies research and development (R&D) is focused on lowering the risk of bioenergy production technologies through verified proof of performance at the pre-pilot, pilot, and demonstration-scales, thereby facilitating further development and validation at demonstration and pioneer scales by private stakeholders.

Bioenergy is a form of energy that works by converting organic materials, known as biomass, into usable energy. Bioenergy technologies enable the reuse of carbon from biomass and waste streams into alternative fuels, chemicals, and other products.
