Bioenergy is an abundant energy source produced by converting biomass, such as plants, forestry and agricultural residues, multipurpose and dedicated crops, and waste. Scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy and its national laboratories are finding new, more efficient ways to convert biomass into biofuels and bioproducts. Watch the Bioenergy 101 video to learn how biomass is broken down and refined through various methods, including combustion, gasification, and fermentation, to advance technology development and innovation across the entire biomass-to-bioenergy supply chain.
