DOE BETO issues new biofuels and bioproducts report

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) released “Biofuels and Bioproducts from Wet and Gaseous Waste Streams: Challenges and Opportunities” in which biosolids as a resource were a focus in the report. DOE notes that “the report is the first comprehensive assessment of the resource potential and technology opportunities provided by feedstocks, including wastewater treatment-derived sludge and biosolids, animal manure, food waste, inedible fats and greases, biogas, and carbon dioxide streams. These feedstocks can be converted into renewable natural gas, diesel, and aviation fuels, or into valuable bioproducts.”
