Logos Technologies lands $17.5M DARPA grant for cellulosic jet biofuels
In Virginia, Logos Technologies has been awarded the second phase research grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to produce fully compatible jet fuel from cellulose — the structural component of all plants and algae. With this process, Logos scientists and their teammates estimate, the cellulose waste streams from agriculture, industries, and cities could supply a significant amount of U.S. transportation fuel needs with a fossil-fuel substitute. Logos’ effort in Phase-1 was worth $19.6 million.
This Phase-2 base award totals $17.5 million without options. The project team of 10 organizations from 5 states — including universities and large and small businesses — will be managed by the Logos Technologies Energy Systems Division at its process-integration laboratory in northern Virginia. Logos states that they are aggressively developing advanced capabilities in this and other advanced methods of energy production.
