Four Bioenergy Technologies You Need to Know About 
DOE’s 17 national laboratories are the crown jewels of the nation’s innovative energy research portfolio. At these state-of-the-art facilities, scientists and engineers conduct critical research that contributes to more affordable and reliable domestic energy choices. Check out this new blog, “4 Emerging Bioenergy Technologies Fueled by the National Labs,” to learn more about how BETO, the national laboratories, and industry are working together to advance bioenergy and bioproduct technologies.
Upcoming BioenergizeME Webinars: Invite a Bioenergy Expert To Meet Your Students
 Calling all science teachers! There will be two opportunities in November―November 1 and November 15―to schedule a bioenergy scientist or engineer to interact with your class via webinar. BETO technology managers Nichole Fitzgerald and Devinn Lambert will discuss topics that improve your students’ awareness of the opportunities and benefits of a thriving domestic bioeconomy, such as exciting career pathways, everyday biobased products, and the impact of waste to energy! Did you know that jet fuel, water bottles, clothing, and cosmetics can be made from biomass? Register today to reserve one of these spots for your class!
Save the Date for BETO’s Advanced Development and Optimization Workshop
Save the date: On December 12–13, BETO will host the Advanced Development and Optimization (ADO) Workshop in Golden, Colorado. BETO’s mission is focused on earlier development-cycle opportunities. BETO will use this workshop to discuss how BETO’s new ADO program area can best serve stakeholders in developing the bioenergy industry, as well as to raise awareness of existing assets from past investments and discuss future needs and opportunities for maximizing these assets’ value. More information and online registration will be available soon on the workshop web page.

New Infographic: Four Fast Facts About Biomass
Did you know that, by 2030, the United States could produce 1 billion tons of biomass per year? That’s enough biomass to fill a 16-foot flatbed truck stacked up to the moon! Check out BETO’s new infographic to learn more facts about this great domestic and sustainable energy resource.
BETO Director Jonathan Male at ABLC Next 2017
Earlier this month, BETO Director Jonathan Male and Technology Managers David Babson, Daniel Fishman, Jay Fitzgerald, and Prasad Gupte were excited to attend the 2017 Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference on Next-Generation Technologies (ABLC Next 2017) in San Francisco. BETO co-sponsored ABLC Next 2017—a connected series of five conferences on the most important issues in the bioeconomy, including new technologies in advanced renewable fuels, chemicals, materials, and nutrition. During the Industry Horizons forum on October 17, BETO Director Jonathan Male discussed future research and development directions that could enable the growth of the U.S. bioeconomy, such as increasing the value and performance from biomass and waste streams and reducing technology uncertainty.
In Case You Missed It: Celebrating Energy All Month Long
October has been an exciting month for BETO! We celebrated Energy Action Month, DOE’s 40th anniversary, and National Bioenergy Day! To see what we’ve been up to all month long, check out these hashtags on Facebook and Twitter―#EnergyActionMonth, #Energy40, and #BioenergyDay. We also created cool posters depicting some of the everyday products made from biomass. Check them all out on our website.
