DOE's Office of Biomass Program has announced over $650 million dollars
in investments since 2006 for research, development, demonstration and
deployment to accelerate biofuels production and development of
supporting infrastructure. Validation of cost-competitive cellulosic
ethanol by 2012 and meeting the ambitious goals of the recent Renewable
Fuels Standard are driving forces in the direction of the program. This
paper will describe current status of programmatic activities toward
meeting these goals.
