Funding-Improvements
for Biochemical Conversion of Biomass Sugars for Petroleum-based Feedstocks,
Products and Fuels; February 7, 2011
Agency
Name
DOE
Description
This Funding Opportunity Announcement seeks applications
to develop and demonstrate integrated bench scale technology and/or process
improvements, from pretreatment to substitutes for petroleum-based feedstocks, products and fuels, that
better the economics and efficiency of biochemical conversion process. Typical
improvements could be in enzyme production and efficiency (cellulases,
hemicellulases, etc); fuel synthesis cost and
efficiency (fermentation organisms, catalysts, etc); and specific improvements
to the feedstock pretreatment or conditioning steps when operated in an
integrated fashion.
