Gain insight into the objectives, progress, priorities, and future plans of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Clean Fuels & Products Shot™ at next week's virtual two-day Summit on April 8-9, 2024. The Shot aims to lower carbon emissions from the fuels and chemicals industry by utilizing more environmentally friendly carbon sources, targeting a minimum reduction of 85% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil-based sources by 2035.
Session Two of the Summit will focus on Resource and Feedstock Mobilization. Stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and non-profit organizations will learn about the goals, efforts, and opportunities to reduce the cost, improve the quality, and increase the quantity of sustainable carbon-based feedstocks for conversion into biofuels and bioproducts.
This session will also highlight the recently released 2023 Billion-Ton Report, which shows that the U.S. could sustainably triple its production of biomass to more than 1 billion tons per year. Also, speakers will provide updates to the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge Roadmap, focused on scaling up new technologies to produce sustainable aviation fuels on a commercial scale.
Keynote Speakers include:
- Dr. William Goldner, National Program Leader, U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Dr. Matthew Langholtz, Natural Resource and Environmental Economist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Panelists include:
- Dr. Todd Anderson, Director, Biological Systems Science Division, DOE Office of Science (Moderator)
