The DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office seeks to decarbonize the U.S. economy by developing efficient and economical biological and chemical technologies to convert renewable carbon resources into bioenergy and renewable chemicals and materials. Good news? CO2 represents an abundant resource with potential for very low carbon footprint. The Bad news? There’s no energy, to work with […]
Technology is great — but energy is made by systems that integrate technology at scale. So, a critical part of the DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office is its Systems development and integration programs. Who’s on the team, what’s the strategy, what are the program goals, what’s the strategy, the challenges, the results to date? BETO program […]
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (establishes partnerships with key public and private stakeholders to develop technologies for producing cost-competitive advanced biofuels from non-food biomass resources, including cellulosic biomass, algae, and wet waste (e.g., biosolids). BETO works with a broad spectrum of government, industrial, academic, agricultural, and nonprofit partners across the United States […]

NexantECA senior consultant Josh Velson returned to the ABLC stage at ABLC 2023 for a presentation on the opportunities in net zero ammonia. Ammonia constitutes nearly half of the chemical industry’s GHG output. Radical and rapid decarbonization is required to meet COP25 goals. Decarbonization goals cannot be met by cutting output –food is dependent on […]
Founded in 2008, Anellotech is a sustainable technology company that has invented and is developing innovative technologies to produce cost effective, renewable chemical and to recycle mixed plastics. Over the past years Anellotech has raised over US$80 million in cash and in-kind contributions to develop its patented Bio-TCat technology, an efficient thermal catalytic process for […]
Due Diligence Wolfpack member Steve Slome of NexantECA presented these slides at ABLC 2023 on Renewable Power, Hydrogen, Methanol, Ammonia, and Carbon Capture; including the Overlap Between Sustainability and Digitalization: Smart Meters with Mass Balance, Electrification, and Batteries; and the Overlap Between Sustainability and Globalization: Fertilizers and Waste Reduction.
Itaconix CEO John Shaw presented these slides at ABLC 2023 on how Itaconix uses its patented technology platform to make advanced materials from itaconic acid, which is a natural metabolite that is valued as a versatile building block for functional ingredients. Itaconix’s technology platform produces new functional ingredients with possible uses in applications currently served […]
Gevo addresses the market need of reducing greenhouse gas emissions with sustainable alternatives, and is commercializing the next generation of advanced, bio-based renewable fuels with sustainable aviation fuel, renewable premium gasoline, and renewable natural gas that have the potential to achieve zero carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel. To make its energy-dense liquid […]
The Consider Corn Challenge IV is about finding game-changing new uses for field corn, leading to products with significant market demand, without detracting from an existing corn market. U.S. corn farmers continue to adopt new innovative production practices, resulting in improved year-over-year efficiency and the ability to produce more with less. These advances now support […]
