The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) Agile BioFoundry (ABF) hosted its virtual 2024 ABF Industry Day on September 12, 2024 where attendees learned more about ABF capabilities and potential opportunities to engage in joint research efforts.
ABF is a BETO-funded consortium that actively collaborates with industry and academic groups to accelerate bioproduct research and development to promote the growth of the U.S. bioeconomy.
Attendees learned about ABF's:
- Strategy to support U.S. biomanufacturing and current industry needs
- Biomanufacturing tools
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and biochemical focus areas
- Previous and current collaborator experiences
- Ideas on how to further advance research on industry emissions reduction and the advancement of SAFs, chemicals, and tools.

The Agile BioFoundry is a consortium of seven U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories that operate as a distributed biofoundry in collaboration with industry and academia. Funded by DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), their work supports BETO’s goals to develop sustainable aviation fuels and lower emissions for energy-intensive industries. ABF collaborates with industry and academia to accelerate innovation and adopt new biomanufacturing methods.
