DOE announces $6.9M for nine W2E solutions for transportation energy

In Washington, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) announced $6.9 million in funding for nine projects to support local waste-to-energy management solutions for transportation energy needs. Located across six states, these selected projects will help sustainably manage and recover potential clean energy sources from local community waste streams using innovative and cost-effective technologies to produce low-carbon biofuels.

Recognizing that local communities may be at different stages in their sustainable waste management planning efforts, the selected projects will address the above waste-to-energy needs through two topic areas:

·      Topic Area 1: Feasibility Study Development Analyses 

·      Topic Area 2: Design Work and Experimental Validation 

This funding will benefit communities and transit authorities with waste-to-energy solutions and support the Federal government’s commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies that create jobs for our local communities and achieve a secure energy future.
