Program Information:   The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office of the Biomass Program has funded biorefinery technology development projects since FY 2002 to meet two of the EERE performance goals: 1) dramatically reduce, or even end, dependence on imported oil; and 2) spur the creation of the domestic bioindustry.

Grant Information:   The purpose of the DOE grant is to support integrated biorefinery projects that have the necessary technical and economic performance data that validates their readiness for the next level of scale-up. In general, integrated biorefineries employ various combinations of feedstocks and conversion technologies to produce a variety of products, with the main focus on producing biofuels and bioproducts. Co- or by-products can include additional fuels, chemicals (or other materials), and heat and power.
