Lawrence Berkeley Lab gets $18M from DOE for biofuels research center
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will build a biofuels development facility using an $18 million stimulus grant from the Department of Energy.
The DOE gave the grant through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
The new center, named the Advanced Biofuels Process Development Unit, will work on industry-scale tests of biofuel production. The “PDU,” as it’s called for short, should be up and running by early next year, though the lab, which is up on the hill above the University of California’s Berkeley campus, doesn’t yet know where it will put it.
The lab said: “multiple possible locations for the facility are now being considered in the San Francisco East Bay region.”
