Atlantic Biomass lands DOE grant for low cost SAF production

In Maryland, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Atlantic Biomass a $184,000 grant for “Low-Cost Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) from Perennial Feedstocks using Simultaneous Ball Milling and Enzyme Hydrolysis.” Work on this project will be performed by Atlantic Biomass with their STTR Institutional Partner, The Ohio State University Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering located in Wooster Ohio.

This grant was awarded by US DOE under the Alternative Uses of Commercial Equipment (ACE) topic. Instead of developing new equipment from scratch, the intent of ACE is to use the expertise of cutting edge small companies to modify and improve available equipment, to improve the processing of biomass and waste feedstocks.
