Liz Moore was the Critical Technology Goal (CTG) Leader for Oils Upgrading at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). In this role, Liz led federal budget planning and project implementation efforts on thermochemical conversion technologies to make renewable fuels and chemicals from biomass.

Liz joined BETO in 2007 as a support service contractor to the Golden Field Office, was hired by DOE in 2009, and left BETO in 2021. In that time, Liz has supported and led multiple Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) seeking projects in thermochemical conversions at the R&D scale and all technologies at the Pilot and Demonstration scales through an approximately $500 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-funded FOA that was completed in 2009. Prior to joining DOE, Liz worked as an analytical chemist in both the environmental and oil and gas fields.

Liz received a B.S. in chemical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.
