Description
This
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will provide funding to address the
highest priority R&D areas within biofuel technologies, bioproducts, and biopower. It
includes Areas of Interest (AOIs) from all five BETO programs: Feedstock Supply
and Logistics; Advanced Algal Systems; Conversion; Advanced Development and
Optimization; and Sustainability and Strategic Analysis. Each AOI supports
BETO’s objectives to reduce the minimum selling price of drop-in biofuels, lower
the cost of biopower, enable high-value products
from biomass or waste resources, and improve the quality of feedstock
characterization and reliability of biorefinery
operations. A minimum 20% non-federal cost match is
required.
Topics
under this FOA include:
·
AOI 1:
Cultivation Intensification Processes for Algae
·
AOI 2a:
Relating Biomass Physical and Chemical Characteristics to Feedstock Performance
in Handling and Conversion Operations
