Bioenergy Technologies Office April 7, 2023 Reminder: 2023 Waste-to-Energy Technical Assistance for Local Governments Applications Due Organic food waste. Photo courtesy of iStock. The U.S Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have launched the next phase of the organic Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Technical Assistance for Local Governments. Food waste, wastewater sludge, and other organic matter represent significant environmental, economic, and social sustainability challenges for municipalities. Given that these waste streams require local solutions to various aspects of their management or disposal, this technical assistance program provides municipalities with the most relevant data to help with decision making. The data from this program can help communities evaluate the most sensible end-uses for their waste, such as repurposing for on-site heat/power, transportation fuels, nutrient recovery, or other options. BETO will provide subject matter assistance to municipalities on topics, including: Waste resource information Infrastructure considerations Techno-economic comparison energy and resource recovery options Evaluation and sharing of case studies (to the extent possible) from similar communities/projects Equity assessments The 2023 Waste-to-Energy Technical Assistance applications are being accepted through April 14, 2023. For information on applicant eligibility and how to apply, please visit the Technical Assistance web page. Timeline for Technical Assistance Opportunity DATE ACTION 3/1/2023 Application Portal Opens 4/14/2023 Application Portal Closes End of May 2023 Selections Announced   Learn more about WTE and BETO-funded technical assistance on the BETO website. If you have any further questions, please see Frequently Asked Questions or contact the WTE Technical Assistance Team at wte.assist@nrel.gov. BETO supports technology research, development, and demonstration to accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions through the cost-effective and sustainable use of biomass and waste feedstocks across the U.S. economy. BETO is part of DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Stay up-to-date with the latest BETO news!
