Objectives The EE Integrated Biomass R&D subprogram includes Biopower Systems and Biofuels Energy Systems in the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill and the Agriculture Vision of the Future, Black Liquor Gasification, and portions of the Forest Products Vision in Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill. These programs collectively support the Biomass R&D Act of 2000 by providing baseload renewable electricity, transportation fuel options, and industrial products and chemicals that offer a choice for substantial environmental benefits and national energy security. These efforts result in technologies that work toward industrial biorefineries, which will make biomass energy and products competitive with conventional fossil-based options. Integrated Biomass R&D, in partnership with industry, will assist in the development of an integrated biomass industry. This will be accomplished through the utilization of biopower technologies that are clean, reliable, and competitive with conventional power systems; and research, development, and validation of technologies that will reduce reliance on imported transportation fuels and chemical feedstocks. When successful, these technologies will promote rural economic development, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide for productive utilization of agricultural residues and segregated municipal solid wastes. The Integrated Biomass R&D subprogram is in the process of making a major transition to become more cohesive and focused on some areas, while de-emphasizing other elements that are either deemed a lower program priority or should be performed by some other agency with a strong interest in biomass – such as the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and DOE’s Offices of Science and Fossil Energy. EE biomass vision and roadmap documents have been drafted, a Biomass Technical Advisory Committee has been in place more than a year, and an EE Coordination Office is working closely with its counterparts at USDA. A high-level EE Bio- Board also has been established and has taken a leadership role in reorienting the biomass programs previously administered along end-use sector lines under Transportation Technologies, Power Technologies, and Industrial Technologies. This FY 2003 budget request is the culmination of efforts from all of these committees with final decisions at the corporate EE level made by managing EE Bio-Board. As a result, R&D priorities and project funding have been grouped into the areas of feedstock production, gasification, fuels and chemicals, processing and conversion, and crosscutting technologies. While the FY 2003 budget request is presented along the existing budget categories, it will likely change in FY 2004 to better reflect a more integrated framework. The Draft Biobased Products and Bioenergy Roadmap has been used by the EE Bio-Board to prioritize R&D activities for FY 2003. Feedstock research supported by DOE focuses on preconversion “in-field” processing of feedstocks to improve
