The Digest’s 2026 Multi Slide Guide to BioCircular Valley

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory announced the “BioCircular Valley,” a major 5-year project funded by Schmidt Sciences and FFAR to address agricultural supply chain inefficiencies. Partnering with UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and the USDA, the initiative tackles a critical bottleneck: growers currently sell only a fraction of the biomass they produce. The most newsworthy focus of the project is standardizing feedstock heterogeneity. By developing a deeper understanding of how diverse feedstocks behave during conversion pathways, BioCircular Valley aims to provide market clarity and better connect agricultural waste with commercial biomanufacturing.
