Funding for Natural Gas and Biofuels

The Department of Energy announced new funding opportunity for two key alternative fuels – natural gas and biofuels.  Through its Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E), the DOE will make $30 million available for a new research competition in the coming months that will encourage entrepreneurs to find ways to harness our abundant supplies of domestic natural gas for vehicles. The DOE will also make $14 million available to support research and development into biofuels from algae.
