DOE Allocates $200M For Cellulosic Biomass

Milwaukee, Wis. - The United States Department of Energy has announced $200 million in new financing for cellulosic biomass projects.

This funding opportunity is open to applicants with projects that may include everything from research and development to design, construction, and operation of a one-tenth scale biorefinery facility that would be a prototype of a full-scale commercial operation.

The grant aims to lower the technical risk associated with financing commercial plants. Demonstration plants should be operable within three years with commercial plants to follow “shortly.”
