🌍 DOE Invests $6.9M in Waste-to-Energy Projects to Boost Clean Transportation

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $6.9 million in funding for nine projects across six states to transform organic waste into low-carbon biofuels for local transportation. Targeting food waste, wastewater sludge, and manure, the initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve waste management, and create economic opportunities. The projects will focus on feasibility studies and experimental validation to support local communities in developing innovative waste-to-energy solutions, reducing landfill reliance, and enhancing environmental sustainability. This effort aligns with federal goals for clean energy and resilient communities.
