The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC) hosted an informational webinar on September 16, 2024 discussing the Industry Partnership Call, application process, and FCIC capabilities.
BETO is overseeing a call for industry partnerships to connect industry stakeholders with the capabilities of FCIC. This funding opportunity will provide resources that allow partners to collaborate with FCIC researchers to address the cost and risk impacts of feedstock and process variability across the bioenergy and bioproducts value chain. Research areas include biomass supply, handling, transport, storage, preprocessing, and initial conversion.
Webinar highlights include:
- Introduction to BETO and the FCIC
- FCIC 2025 Industry Partnership Call
- Topic Areas
- Applicant Eligibility
- Proposal Timeline

The Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium is a Bioenergy Technologies Office-funded collaboration of industry advisors and researchers at nine U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories. The FCIC uses first-principles-based science to de-risk biorefinery scale-up and deployment by understanding, quantifying, and mitigating the impacts of feedstock variability on bioconversion processes.
