U.S. DOE Announces $6.9 Million for Nine Waste-to-Fuel Projects Targeting RNG and Renewable Transportation Fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office and Vehicle Technologies Office selected nine projects to share $6.9 million in funding under the new WASTE (Waste Analysis and Strategies for Transportation End-uses) initiative. The selected research focuses on converting organic waste streams — including food waste, municipal wastewater sludge, solid waste, and manure — into transportation fuels and bioproducts, reinforcing federal support for the RNG and waste-to-energy pipeline.
