DOE awards $2.18M to three feedstock conversion projects

In Washington, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) awarded $2.18 million in funding to three projects as part of the 2023 Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Call by the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC). Funded and led by BETO, the FCIC is a consortium of researchers at nine national laboratories dedicated to reducing the risk of biorefinery scale-up.

Partnering laboratory researchers will collaborate with award recipients to understand, quantify, and mitigate the risk impact of feedstock variability across the bioenergy and bioproduct value chains.
