Transforming Biomass to Bioenergy Feedstocks
The DOE Biomass Program has shaped the vision of a national, commodity-scale feedstock supply system. Much progress has been made in developing and reaching this vision through optimizing biomass logistics—and defining commodity attributes compatible with existing commodity-scale, solids-handling infrastructure. Now, this commodity vision is expanding to include the development of next generation customized feedstocks that are also optimized for conversion performance. This vision enables commodity-scale, custom-formulated feedstocks to play a critical role in producing biofuels, biopower and other bioproducts.
The mission of the Idaho National Laboratory Bioenergy Program is to achieve the DOE vision by developing processes and technologies—through applied science and engineering—that focus on:
