The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Arizona to develop the Regional Algal Feedstock Testbed Partnership (RAFT). DOE funding would be used to create a network of testbeds with the intent to collect long-term algal cultivation data across multiple regions in three phases. RAFT would make available algal research community facilities, equipment, materials and expertise to facilitate efforts to advance the state of the technology.
