The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office of Biomass Program (OBP) is holding a Peer Review for the Feedstock Platform.

• Relationship to OBP mission and goals and contribution to 2012, 20 in 10, 2030 targets
• Strategic mix of industry, academic, laboratory involvement in the research
