Hydrocarbon-based biofuels made from non-food feedstocks, waste materials, and algae can directly replace gasoline and other fuels. DOE is continuing to pursue the development of these renewable biofuels, with the goal of producing cost-competitive drop-in biofuels at $3 per gallon by 2017. University of Oklahoma (up to $4 million).

It first gasifies the feedstock to syngas (CO and H 2 ), then uses proprietary microorganisms—licensed from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma—to convert simultaneously both CO and H 2 into ethanol. Scale up lots of times makes things better—there is more residence time to convert the gas into ethanol.
