DOE awards $18M to six projects for algae-based biofuels; targeting <$5/gge

Green Car Congress

Additionally, algae can be used to make a range of other valuable bioproducts, such as industrial chemicals, bio-based polymers, and proteins. However, barriers related to algae cultivation, harvesting, and conversion to fuels and products need to be overcome to achieve the Department’s target of $3/gge for advanced algal biofuels by 2030.

DOE BETO releases new strategic plan; biofuels to constitute 25% of US transportation fuels by 2040

Green Car Congress

Although electrification coupled to these alternative energy sources can transform the light-duty vehicle fleet, it is unlikely even in the mid- to long-term that the needs of the heavy-duty marine and aviation industries will be met by anything except an energy dense carbon-based liquid fuel.
