Funding of $6 million to advance biofuel development

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $6 million in funding for three projects that will advance biofuels development and support U.S. leadership in energy and emissions innovation.

Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the projects will support research to improve performance and reduce the cost of high-impact biofuel production technologies; expand production systems through industry; and support the U.S. bioeconomy.

Located in three states, these projects will support the U.S. Department of Energy’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Grand Challenge goals by developing biofuel technologies that use sustainable biomass and waste feedstocks.
