BETO selects 13 small businesses to develop innovative bio-based products and biomass processing technologies
In Washington DC, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced awards for the FY24 Phase I Release 2 of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program.
Across DOE, 229 projects in 39 states received $52 million to pursue energy research and development (R&D), and eventual demonstration projects. The Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) selected 13 small businesses working to accelerate bioenergy R&D as part of this announcement. The companies, located across 10 states, have been selected to receive up to $206,500 each for this Phase I SBIR award.
Of the 13 BETO awards, six are first-time awardees, four are located in Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Zones, two are in socially and economically disadvantaged areas, and one is a woman-owned business, the DOE said.
