The U.S. DOE has awarded Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II funding to six bioenergy projects, including those focused on low-carbon liquid biofuels for aviation, marine and rail transportation.
SAF Magazine and the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative announced the preliminary agenda for the North American SAF Conference and Expo, being held Sept. 11-13 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota.

A Major Upgrade
November 14, 2023
The newly renovated Biomass Feedstock National User Facility aims to serve as a vital industry partner as the most complete feedstock preprocessing R&D facility in the world. In May, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm cut the ribbon at Idaho National Laboratory’s Biomass Feedstock National User Facility, celebrating $15 million in upgrades largely designed to assist industry partners in the scale-up of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector. BFNUF Director Lynn Wendt tells SAF Magazine that the U.S.-DOE funded lab’s first physical process development unit was actually installed in 2010, a time at which a modest selection of tools were available. “Now, we’re really the go-to lab for feedstocks logistics and mechanical processing, and really one of the only facilities in the world that has all these capabilities all under one roof,” she says...
