Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

The US Biomass Research and Development (BR&D) Board (an interagency collaborative which is co-chaired by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy) unveiled last week a strategy to accelerate innovative technologies that harness country’s biomass resources for biofuels, bioproducts and biopower. The guiding document “Bioeconomy Initiative: Implementation Framework” outlines an approach for implementing the strategy.

The Framework will serve for the BR&D Board member agencies to increase government accountability and accelerate innovative and sustainable technologies that contribute to a secure, reliable, affordable and enduring supply of energy and products. It defines goals and actions for addressing knowledge and technology gaps in:
- Advanced algae systems.
- Feedstock genetic improvement, production, management and logistics.
- Biomass conversion and carbon utilization.
- Transportation, distribution infrastructure and end use.
- Bioeconomy analysis.
- Bioeconomy sustainability.
