FlickrIt is estimated that there is over 1 billion tons of non-food lignocellulosic biomass currently available on a sustainable basis in the United States alone for the production of biofuels. Lignocellulosic biomass is therefore a critical feedstock for the production of renewable fuels that will be required to meet the biofuel production targets established by [...]
Biochemical conversion of biomass to fuels has become increasingly important as climate and energy security issues challenge our nation’s dependence on conventional energy sources. Sandia’s biochemical conversion program team works closely with industrial, university, and research lab partners to develop the foundation for the next generation of biochemical conversion technologies – including advanced biomass pretreatment, [...]
The Combustion Research Facility (CRF) is an internationally recognized center of excellence for combustion science and technology whose operations are supported by the DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES). The CRF is home to about 100 scientists, engineers, and technologists who conduct basic and applied research aimed at improving our nation’s [...]
Sandia conducts a broad spectrum of research in the hydrogen arena. In the area of Transportation Energy, our focus is on hydrogen materials and engineering challenges (REACH) and hydrogen safety, codes and standards. REACH Sandia has established the Research, Engineering, and Applications Center for Hydrogen (REACH) in the Livermore Valley Open Campus. This Center is [...]
Transportation Energy programs at Sandia share a common goal: reducing dependence on petroleum-based fuels and developing sustainable alternative fuels and increased efficiency of vehicle technologies. The United States is at a critical juncture where pressing issues in energy security, climate change, and economic competitiveness are converging. Aggressive national goals for reducing petroleum use by 25 [...]
