The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) today announced $2.5 million in funding, with an industry match of $2.5 million, for four projects selected from the Base Annual Appropriations Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF). The TCF is administered by the Office of Technology Transitions (OTT). With this funding, DOE national laboratories and industry will partner to advance lab-developed clean bioenergy technologies towards commercialization to reduce carbon intensity in the transportation, industrial, and/or agriculture sectors.
BETO and OTT have selected the following TCF projects:
