The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Technology Holding LLC to optimize fermentation and catalysis processes to produce jet fuel and isoprene from biomass hydrolysate. The fermentation and catalysis technologies used would be matured from technology readiness level (TRL) 3 to TRL5. Catalysts previously developed by the team, would also be optimized for conversion of isoprene to dimer products. The project would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point between each BP.
