The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has released a Request for Information (RFI) to provide industry and government with information to guide further innovation of cleaner and more efficient wood stoves and the best use of renewable wood feedstocks. Specifically, the Residential Wood Heater In-Situ Testing RFI, seeks feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders to define the goals and objectives for a planned effort to collect wood heater performance data in the field.

The 2022–2023 AlgaePrize, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and supported by the Algae Foundation and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, is a year-and-a-half-long competition that challenges stu

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced awards totaling $142 million for small businesses through DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II funding. The SBIR/STTR selected projects include six projects funded through DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). The BETO funded projects cover the following topics; community-driven agricultural decarbonization, low-carbon liquid biofuels for the aviation, maritime, rail, and medium-to-heavy duty transportation sectors, workforce development, ocean plastics upcycling, and improving plastics compatibilization.

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.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) will be hosting their next Project Peer Review from April 3-7, 2023. During Project Peer Review, projects in BETO’s research and development portfolio are presented to the public.
