DOE Bioenergy Program Reauthorization Act

This bill rewrites the Department of Energy's bioenergy program, which researches and develops fuels, power, chemicals, and materials made from plants, other biological material, and waste. It directs the Department to support at least four small-scale testing facilities within two years and to award competitive grants for bioenergy technologies not already in its research portfolio. It also requires demonstration projects for integrated biorefineries and for biodiesel use in university power generators, along with a strategic plan and public reports. The bill authorizes about $318 million to $369 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
