Projects support research and development to convert algae, such as seaweeds and other wet waste feedstocks, into low-carbon fuels, chemicals and agricultural products that can decarbonize domestic transportation, industry, and communities.
The U.S. Department of Energy issued topics for Phase One of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. These topics aim to advance the development and commercialization of new ideas and research from small businesses that can drive innovation.
On Oct. 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLE™️) consortium held a webinar to discuss how the consortium uses analysis to guide research activities. The BOTTLE webinar recording, transcript, and slide presentations are now available.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to join our Renewable Carbon Resources (RCR) subprogram as a Technology Manager (General Engineer/GS-0801-12 or Physical Scientist/GS-1301-12).
AlgaePrize 2023–2025 finalist teams continue to share their innovations with the algae industry. Their goals are to develop, design, and invent technologies in the commercial algae value chain. The latest updates show teams are prepared to pivot and invent new experimental solutions as they encounter challenges during the discovery process.
How much do you know about Bioenergy? Did you know that bioenergy is used to create biofuels, known as synthetic aviation fuels, that are currently used in our commercial airlines?
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Base Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness (CLIMR) Lab Call. Based on FY24, an estimated $30.1 to $36.8 million is expected to be available to fund projects solicited in this lab call pending FY25 appropriations and program direction. The total funding amount available will be applied once an official FY25 DOE budget is passed.
Researchers and analysts at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are using a sophisticated modeling method known as system dynamics to understand the intricacies of energy systems, such as biofuel economics and supply chains.
Registration is now open for the BRIDGES Bioenergy 101 Virtual Workshop hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT). The workshop will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 17, 2024.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF) and the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU), have successfully scaled up a bio-based process that converts ethanol into a valuable precursor for consumer products, such as paints, coatings, and diapers. The researchers worked with industry partner, Industrial Microbes, to develop the technology.
