Agency

Department of Energy – Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)

 

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
