DOE requests feedback on National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap

In Washington, the U.S. Department of Energy has requested feedback on the draft National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap, especially from stakeholders who were not able to participate in the initial workshop sessions that formed a basis for the Roadmap. This draft roadmap was prepared by a working group commissioned by DOE, commencing with a workshop held last December in Maryland. Nine session leaders from the workshop outlined chapters for the draft based upon feedback from participants. A summary on the Workshop can be accessed here.

Feedback will be reviewed and considered for incorporation into the finalized roadmap for public release. The draft Roadmap, supporting documents and comment submission procedures can be accessed here.
