FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces New Bold Goals and Priorities to Advance American Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
The Biden-Harris Administration is announcing new bold goals and priorities that will catalyze action inside and outside of government to advance American biotechnology and biomanufacturing
From Lab to Market: Bio-Based Products Are Gaining Momentum
Propelled by government investment and shareholder demand, manufacturers are pushing to get bio-based products into the marketplace. These new materials — made from plants, fungi, and microbes — aim to replace those that contain toxins and are difficult to recycle or reuse
It’s the holiday season for US renewable chemicals
While the renewable chemicals industry continues to play second fiddle to biofuels when it comes to US government funding (it’s true!), the Biden Administration’s actions towards boosting the bioeconomy are setting off a flurry of activities on how renewable chemicals companies can dip in to these bioeconomy-related funding initiatives
We need massive amounts of carbon capture from air to decarbonize aviation, and policymakers must act now
The race to decarbonize aviation has begun, and synthetic jet fuel from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, so-called e-kerosene, is to play a major role. Where will the CO2 come from and what is the role of Direct Air Capture?
Lehigh Hanson Receives U.S. DOE Funding for FEED study of carbon capture project at its new Lehigh Cement Plant in Mitchell, Indiana
The funding awarded more than $31 million in funding for 10 projects to develop carbon capture technologies which are able to capture at least 95 percent of carbon dioxide emissions from natural gas power plants
A simple, cheap material for carbon capture, perhaps from tailpipes
Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine — the main component of Formica — chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks, a key goal for the United States and other nations as they seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Plant-Based Epoxy Enables Recyclable Carbon Fiber, Improves Economics for Mass Market Electric Vehicles
NREL researchers have shown that making carbon fiber composites with bio-based epoxies and an anhydride hardener makes the material fully recyclable by introducing linkages that are more easily degraded
