Led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC) is a multi-lab collaboration focused on developing first-principles-based knowledge and tools to understand, quantify, and mitigate the effects of feedstock and process variability across the bioenergy value chain, from the field and forest through downstream conversion.

The FCIC recently published its Annual Review of Research FY2020 report, which presents an overview of the accomplishments of FCIC researchers for fiscal year 2020, covering both the low- and high-temperature conversion pathways and all three process areas (feedstock harvest and storage, preprocessing, and conversion). In the report, key research achievements of each task are presented, along with planned FY 2021 work that will build on the FY 2020 accomplishments. Download the report to learn more.
