The Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) blog posts are a great source to learn about the progress BETO is making toward its goals.
Kevin Craig retired in December 2023 after nearly two decades of service to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO).
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have developed biosensing technology that can help address the problem of plastic waste, specifically nylon-based waste such as textiles, carpets, tires, and fishing nets. These and other products are...
More ethanol, fewer emissions, land with multiple purposes—there are several advantages of using renewable electricity to increase the carbon efficiency of biorefineries.
In the world of biofuels over the past decade, the eyes of industry have increasingly focused on the potential for domestic microalgae to provide alternative energy with reduced carbon emissions. However, to use these tiny aquatic organisms commercially..
We are witnessing a renaissance of innovation in sustainable fuels. Established corporations and small startups around the world are proposing novel solutions for turning abundant renewable carbon resources into energy-dense, low-carbon fuels that are key
Towns and organizations in Alaska illustrate how remote communities can adopt clean energy systems—and how EERE’s Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project can help.
As part of a newly established collaborative, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) will co-lead an effort to establish a bioindustrial manufacturing capability in California’s Northern
Algae turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into biochemical energy. These researchers use genetic engineering, analysis, and material science to turn that energy into opportunity.
A new workflow developed by researchers at the Agile BioFoundry (ABF), a U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office-funded consortium of national laboratories and Agilent Research Laboratories (Agilent) addresses this need. The workflow
In 2019, after three years of fuel and engine research, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) initiative selected and recommended 10 different bio-blendstocks that could be used to make gasoline fuel...
