Five year research plan, 1988--1992: Biofuels: Renewable fuels for the future

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6630481
This five-year research plan sets forth the research activities of the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Biofuels and Municipal Waste Technology Program for 1988 through 1992. These research activities are necessary to provide versatile, renewable substitutes for oil and natural gas, the fossil fuels that power much of the world. In developing and implementing this plan, DOE and several of its laboratories are working closely with university, industrial, and other federal and local government research organizations. The Biofuels and Municipal Waste Technology Program focuses on the production of liquid fuels such as alcohol fuels, biocrude-derived gasoline, and plant-oil-drived diesel fuel, and gaseous fuels such as biogas and syngas. These fuels can be produced from many plant materials and from certain waste products such as municipal waste. These raw materials, or feedstocks, together are called biomass.
