Conversion Interface Consortium News Today

The U.S. DOEs Bioenergy Technologies Office awarded $2.18 million in funding to three projects as part of the 2023 Cooperative Research and Development Agreement call by the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium.

On July 27, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced that its Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium (FCIC) recently published eight...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) hosted its 2023 Project Peer Review on April 3-7, 2023. During the event, more than 280 projects in BETO’s...

The DOE has launched an initiative that aims to help industry and universities leverage the Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium’s capabilities to help solve real-world problems that the bioenergy and bioproduct industries are facing.

In this webinar, two FCIC (Feedstock-Conversion Interface Consortium) researchers will discuss insights gleaned through multiscale characterization on sources of variability, compositional, and structural attributes that impact the biomass value chain. Drs. Allison Ray from Idaho National Laboratory and Bryon Donohoe from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory will discuss the FCIC Feedstock Variability Team’s work to expand our fundamental understanding of the range and sources of variabil...

By Iacovos Vasalos, Research Director Emeritus, Center for Research and Technology-Hellas Special to The Digest This report summarizes highlights from the ABLC 2020 Biofuels Digest Virtual Conference, which took place in July 7-10, 2020. (And if you haven’t already registered for this year’s ABLC Digital on May 3-7, 2021, check it out now here.) There were almost 100 presentations in various areas of technology. These represent work carried out, mainly in United States, in National Labs, Un...

The FCIC is a multi-lab collaboration focused on developing knowledge and tools to understand, quantify, and mitigate the effects of feedstock and process variability across the bioenergy value chain. These efforts, addressing variability from the field and forest through downstream conversion, target a fundamental challenge facing biorefineries today. The report presents an overview of the accomplishments of FCIC researchers for FY2020, covering both the low- and high-temperature conversion pa...
