Thermochemical conversion of biomass: a summary of R and D activities sponsored by the Biomass Energy Technology Division of DOE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5874727
; ; ;
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is actively developing renewable energy sources through research and development programs sponsored by the Biomass Energy Technology Division. The objective of the Biomass Thermochemical Conversion Program is to develop cost competitive processes for the conversion of renewable biomass resources into clean fuels and petrochemical substitutes which can supplement those produced from conventional sources. A description of biomass thermochemical conversion research areas and a summary of specific thermochemical conversion projects sponsored by the Biomass Thermochemical Conversion Program are presented in this paper.
