The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Mercurius Biofuels LLC to focus on laboratory scale work that would use corn stover and other low-cost, non-food cellulosic feedstock. Through a thermo-chemical process, lignocellulosic biomass would be converted into non-sugar intermediates, ethyl levulinate / furfural, which could then be further processed into qualified jet and diesel fuels and bio-based chemical products
