2002 DOE EERE Biobased Products and Bioenergy Solicitation

March 14, 2002

As you are aware, the efforts across DOE EERE on biobased products in the Office of Industrial Technologies, biofuels in the Office of Transportation Technologies, and biopower in the Office of Power are being continuously better integrated as we move forward. This year, the solicitations issued by these DOE offices will better reflect that integration. They will also reflect additional focus on biorefinery research. Details will be issued in April on the DOE EERE biobased products and bioenergy solicitation focusing on biorefineries that will offer $15-$20 million of cost-shared funds.
