Applicants interested in taking advantage of the funding opportunity, entitled the Scale-Up of Integrated Biorefineries, must submit their concept papers by 5 p.m. Eastern time on July 8 to be eligible to submit a full application.
The department is focused on applied research, development, and demonstration to improve the performance and reduce the cost of biofuel production technologies and scale-up production systems in partnership with industry.
By reducing costs and technical risks, these efforts can help pave the way for the biofuels industry to deploy commercial-scale integrated biorefineries.
