The DOE’s Feedstock Technologies program focuses on challenges and barriers crucial to reaching program goals, including: Feedstock Availability and Cost Production; Feedstock Genetics and Variety Improvement; Sustainable Harvesting; Feedstock Quality; Biomass Storage Systems; Biomass Physical State Alteration; Material Handling and Transportation; Feedstock Supply System; Integration & Infrastructure; and Operational Reliability. BETO technology managers Liz Burrows […]

The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to the Feedstock Conversion Interface Consortium and Task X

September 12, 2023 | Jim Lane

The Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium is led by DOE as a collaborative effort among researchers from 9 National Labs. The key ideas? 1. Biomass feedstock properties are variable and different from other Commodities. 2. Empirical approaches to address these issues have been unsuccessful. The FCIC is developing first principles-based knowledge and tools to understand and mitigate the […]
