BETO: $20.2 Million to Develop Algae for Biofuels and Bioproducts
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) have announced $20.2 million in funding for 10 university and industry projects to advance mixed algae development for low-carbon biofuels and bioproducts. Located in seven states, these selected projects will address high-impact research and development focused on converting algae, such as seaweeds and other wet waste feedstocks, to low-carbon fuels, chemicals, and agricultural products that can decarbonize domestic transportation and industry.
