Bio-Restore Workshop Presentations and Workshop Summary Published
(U.S. Department of Energy) The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has released the “Bio-Restore Workshop Summary Report.” This report summarizes the results of a BETO-sponsored public workshop held at Argonne National Laboratory on September 25–26, 2019.
The Bio-Restore Workshop brought together experts to discuss the current state of technologies relevant to terrestrial and algal biomass, and to identify data and research and development relevant to the bio-restore concept. Specific topics mentioned in the report include:
- Using dedicated energy crops and other biomass sources to provide environmental benefits
- Implementing algae technologies
- Quantifying and valorizing ecosystem services
- Developing low-cost sensors and data management systems
- Integrating “bio-restore biomass” with supply chain needs.
