Small Business Innovation Research: Biofuels and Biobased Products

This is one of 12 topic areas in the USDA SBIR program. Its objective is to promote the use of biofuels and non-food biobased products by developing new or improved technologies that will lead to increased production of industrial products from agricultural materials. This research will lead to new opportunities to diversify agriculture and enhance agriculture's role as a reliable supplier of raw industrial materials. Specifically for FY2008, this program's focus will be sustainable production of biofuels and related co-products and development of new industrial crops.
