The Biofuels and Municipal Waste Technology (BMWT) Division of the US Department of Energy is responsible for research and development (R and D) of technologies for producing liquid and gaseous fuels from biomass (organic materials such as trees, municipal solid waste, aquatic plants, and crops). The program addresses both production (growth) of biomass and its conversion to fuels. Major progress has been made toward the goal of developing cost-competitive biofuels technologies for the next decade and beyond. The Biofuels Program Summary consists of a two-volume reference set describing the technological advances and future R and D directions of the Biofuels Program for fiscal year 1988. Volume 2 (Research Summaries) is a compilation of detailed descriptions of the various R and D projects performed by the national laboratories and their subcontractors from industry, university, and nonprofit research institutions. It also contains a bibliography of the various journal articles and publications produced under the program in recent years.
