Updated Biomass Energy Website
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy recently updated the website for its Biomass Program and is seeking feedback from those interested in biofuels.
The Biomass Program works with industry, academia and national laboratory partners on a portfolio of research in biomass feedstocks and conversion technologies. Through research, development, and demonstration efforts geared at the development of integrated biorefineries, the Biomass Program helps transform the nation’s renewable and abundant biomass resources into cost competitive, high performance biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower. Among its goals is focusing research and development efforts to ensure that cellulosic ethanol is cost competitive by 2012.

I notice on the home page that you are talking about liquid fuel. What about biomass for solid fuel for electric generation? Direct combustion is the path of least resistance to fill immediate needs, reduce emissions and use plants for CO2 sequestration.

That’s great news. Public funding for alternative fuels development is critical. Making the funding information more accessible is a small, but important step.
