Description
DOE’s
Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) develops technologies that convert domestic
biomass and waste resources into fuels, products, and power to enable affordable
energy, economic growth, and innovation in renewable energy and chemicals
production. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002423 will
support BETO’s highest priority research and development (R&D) areas in two
BETO programs: Feedstock Technologies and Advanced Algal Systems. Both Topic
Areas support BETO’s objectives to reduce the minimum selling price of drop-in
biofuels, lower the cost of biopower, and enable
high-value products from biomass or waste resources. Under this funding
opportunity, BETO is interested in the following Topic Areas:
Topic
Area 1: Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste to Enable Production of
Conversion-Ready Feedstocks
·
Subtopic
1a: Measurement of Variability of Key MSW Characteristics within and across
Unique MSW Streams
·
Subtopic
1b: Development of Novel Methods for Rapid/Real-time
Measurements
Topic
Area 2: Algae Productivity Exceeding Expectations
(APEX)
·
Subtopic
2a: Improvements in Productivity with Traditional Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Supply
·
Subtopic
2b: Improvements in Productivity with Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO2 from
Ambient Air
