DOE announces additional MEGA-BIO: Bioproducts to Enable Biofuels award; $1.8M for deconstruction of biomass

Green Car Congress

All four projects are supporting the development of biomass-to-hydrocarbon biofuels conversion pathways that can produce variable amounts of fuels and/or products based on external factors, such as market demand. In August 2016, DOE's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) selected three projects for an initial round of funding. Earlier post.)
