The Biomass Research and Development Initiative

The Biomass Research and Development Initiative is a government program that supports the development of new technologies to turn plant materials, like crop waste and wood, into renewable energy sources such as biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts. Its goal is to advance innovative research and commercial applications that help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable energy solutions. By funding projects across research institutions and industry, the initiative aims to accelerate the use of biomass as a clean, renewable resource to benefit the economy and environment.
