BETO 2020 State of Bioenergy Technology report now available

In Washington, D.C., the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) funds R&D of technologies necessary for deployment and production of cost-competitive bioenergy, primarily biofuels, and they just published the latest report with a status of those R&D efforts at the end of 2020 and the technical challenges and barriers facing the industry.

This report first describes the approach for assessing progress, followed by specific technology pathway configurations within which progress is charted. Each pathway configuration is described separately and the state of technology progress is presented.

BETO supports research, development, and demonstration to enable the sustainable use of domestic biomass and waste resources for the production of biofuels and bioproducts. BETO is part of DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
