Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy


Demonstration and Deployment Bioenergy Workshop

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of Open Meeting: Demonstration and Deployment Bioenergy 
Workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) today gives notice of a 
workshop hosted by the Bioenergy Technologies Office's (BETO's) 
Demonstration and Deployment Program to discuss the current state of 
technology and efforts needed to achieve affordable, scalable, and 
sustainable drop-in hydrocarbon biofuels.

DATES: March 12-13, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 S. Cass Avenue, Bldg. 402, 
APS (Advanced Photon Source) Auditorium, Lemont, IL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Questions may be directed to--Stephanie Nimmagadda at (720) 356-
1279 or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the bioenergy industry begins to advance 
commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol technologies, BETO wants to 
identify the next step(s) in drop-in hydrocarbon biofuel production. 
This workshop is intended to discuss, reassess, and prioritize 
demonstration and deployment efforts needed to realize affordable, 
scalable, and sustainable hydrocarbon biofuels. The workshop will 
convene university, national laboratory, industry, advocacy, government 
and other stakeholders to consider the following questions:
     What is the state of technology regarding the deployment 
of hydrocarbon biofuels, as well as supportive bioproducts and 
biopower?
     What are the current technical, conversion, feedstock and 
logistics, and market barriers to deploying hydrocarbon biofuels?
     What are priority strategies for overcoming such technical 
barriers?
    These discussions will inform DOE's demonstration and deployment 
strategy,

and the results will be presented at a breakout session during the 
annual Biomass 2014 conference July 29-30th. The workshop will include 
sessions on past demonstration and deployment successes, lessons 
learned, goals, research strategies, and facilitated breakout sessions.
