Biomass Program Two primary objectives: 1. Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing biomass based liquid fuels 2. Foster the domestic biomass industry Mission Statement Partner with U. S. industry to foster research and development on advanced technologies that will transform our abundant biomass resources into clean, affordable, and domestically produced biofuels, biopower, and high-value bioproducts. The results will be economic development, energy supply options, and energy Security. The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biomass Program develops technology for conversion of biomass (plant-derived material) to valuable fuels, chemicals, materials and power, so as to reduce dependence on foreign oil and foster growth of biorefineries. The goal is to foster new industries converting lignocellulosic biomass into a wide range of products, including ones that would otherwise be made from Petrochemicals.
