Department of Energy Launches New Bioenergy Webpage for Technology Verification Guidance
Technology verification captures quantifiable performance metrics and measures progress over the life of a project, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) often requires funding opportunity announcement (FOA) award recipients to comply with technical and economic validation of their novel chemical, biological, and thermochemical technologies at the R&D, pilot, demo, and commercial scale. To assist FOA awardees, and help applicants better understand the process, BETO has launched a comprehensive set of web resources and guidance to explain the three-phased verification process and team approach used to validate these technologies.
The verification process benefits both DOE and FOA award recipients by:
- Establishing clear metrics for success
- Providing rigorous, independent, third-party technical analysis and risk assessment
- Supporting project and portfolio planning
- Maximizing the value of research dollars
- Increasing likelihood of project success
- Promoting transparency
Learn more about the BETO technology verification process, requirements, and available resources.
BETO supports research, development, and demonstration to enable the sustainable use of domestic biomass and waste resources for the production of biofuels and bioproducts. BETO is part of DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
