DOE to Invest Nearly $18 Million for Advanced Biofuels User Facility

摘要

U.S. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Cathy Zoi has announced that the Department's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will build an advanced biofuels process development facility aimed at speeding the commercialization of advanced biofuels by allowing researchers and the private sector to test and integrate innovative technologies. The facility-funded with nearly $18 million from the Recovery Act-will be a publicly available facility where researchers can integrate process steps and test innovative technology pathways, such as those being developed at DOE's Office of Science Bioenergy Research Centers.
