Join the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for an informational webinar on the recently released 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23), an assessment of renewable carbon resources potentially available in the United States. The webinar will be held on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm ET.

We are just days away from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ Summit on April 8, 2024, from 11am – 2pm ET, and April 9, 2024, from 11am – 4pm ET. This two-day virtual event will gather stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and non-profit organizations to discuss the objectives, progress, priorities, and future plans for the seventh DOE Energy Earthshot™.

Gain insight into the objectives, progress, priorities, and future plans of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ at next week's virtual two-day Summit on April 8-9, 2024. The Shot aims to lower carbon emissions from the fuels and chemicals industry by utilizing more environmentally friendly carbon sources, targeting a minimum reduction of 85% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil-based sources by 2035.

Are you interested in joining a dynamic team that advances clean energy research, creates cutting-edge technologies and contributes to a low-carbon U.S. bioeconomy? The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is seeking individuals to join the Renewable Carbon Resources (RCR) and the Data, Modeling, and Analysis (DMA) subprograms.

Dive deeper into the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ at next week's virtual two-day Summit on April 8 - 9, 2024. Industry and laboratory experts, congressional members, as well as government agencies will provide insight on several topics to update the objectives, progress, priorities, and future plans of the Shot focused on decarbonizing the fuel and chemical industry through alternative sources of carbon.

A detailed agenda is now available for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ Summit. The summit will take place on April 8, 2024, from 11am – 2pm ET, and April 9, 2024, from 11am – 4pm ET.

On March 15, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23), which shows that the United States could sustainably triple its production of biomass to more than 1 billion tons per year.

Preventing clothes from shedding may be impractical, if not impossible. However, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™) consortium have developed an emerging solution that could address the challenge at its source: replace today’s petroleum-derived polyester with a nontoxic, biodegradable alternative made from PHAs, short for “polyhydroxyalkanoates.”

New Assessment Shows That America’s Abundant Supply of Renewable Resources Can Produce Enough Sustainable Aviation Fuel to Exceed Projected 2050 Market Demand

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23), which shows that the U.S. could sustainably triple its production of biomass to more than 1 billion tons per year. The report—the fourth in a series of assessments of potential biomass resources in the United States since 2005—finds that 1 billion tons of biomass could satisfy over 100% of the projected demand for airplane fuel in the country, allowing the U.S. to fully decarbonize the aviation industry with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
