The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) released the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC) Capstone Report. The report summarizes the FCIC’s goals, research activities, and achievements over the past three years.
The FCIC is a collaborative effort among researchers from nine national laboratories focused on reducing the risks feedstock variability poses to biorefineries. The FCIC has met this challenge and made an array of knowledge and tools available to industry stakeholders in the form of more than 100 publicly available scientific publications, technical reports, conference presentations, and open-source computer codes available for download.
The accomplishments of the FCIC span the entire bioenergy value chain, including areas such as:
- feedstock characterization
- material handling
- preprocessing
- wear analysis
- low-temperature conversion
- high-temperature conversion
- cross-cutting analysis
- data integration.
