The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) will fund a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to accelerate wood heater innovation, reduce wood heater pollutants and develop the next generation of efficient and clean wood heaters. Up to $2 million will be available for Phase 2 of this competitively selected CRADA call, administered by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Up to four projects will be selected with a project duration of 12–24 months, and applicants are expected to provide 20% cost share of the requested funding.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations recently announced the first tranches of funding for three of the seven regional hydrogen hubs unveiled in late 2023.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced $33 million for nine projects across seven states to advance concentrating solar-thermal systems technologies to produce solar fuels—including hydrogen—and long-duration energy storage.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) released the first two parts of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) State-of-Industry Report.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office’s (BETO) Agile BioFoundry (ABF) will be hosting its 2024 Industry Day on September 12, 2024, from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm PT (12:00 pm - 5:30 pm ET).

The U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office selected 17 projects for R&D supporting clean hydrogen and fuel cell applications.

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.

A new report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories investigated the economic and environmental implications of siting and deploying large-scale microalgae farms for cultivation and conversion to biofuels and bioproducts. The report, “Economic, Greenhouse Gas, and Resource Assessment for Fuel and Protein Production from Microalgae: 2022 Algae Harmonization Update,” was developed by Argonne National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, with funding from DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced awards for the FY24 Phase I Release 2 of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. Across DOE, 229 projects in 39 states received $52 million to pursue energy research and development (R&D), and eventual demonstration projects. The Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) selected 13 small businesses working to accelerate bioenergy R&D as part of this announcement. The companies, located across 10 states, have been selected to receive up to $206,500 each for this Phase I SBIR award. Of the 13 BETO awards, six are first-time awardees, four are located in Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zones, two are in socially and economically disadvantaged areas, and one is a woman-owned business.
